I completely agree with what Bowriter posted. TN will continue to improve as a state for "good" bucks. Not recordbook bucks but still very good bucks. As more and more hunters pass up young bucks and focus their harvest efforts on older bucks we will see more and more 150 and 160-class gross bucks being killed. Those caliber bucks will be harvested by the hundreds each year. But I think the 170 and 180-class gross bucks will always remain a rarity. The areas of the state that produce such bucks with regularity are just too limited in scope. I literally cannot keep count of the number of 150 and 160-class bucks I've been sent pictures of or I've photographed myself, but the 170+ bucks are still extremely rare.

Yes, I know of at least one 160-170 class buck that has not made the "net" sites yet.
It was killed with a bow on Oct. 13th in Hamilton County

I have scored a 154 8 point, 170 10 point, and dozens of 155-167 inch bucks over the last 2 years off the same property that no one will ever see pics of. Also scored a 173 inch and A 164 off an Iowa property. The 170 10 point was killed in tn with a bow this season

It's amazing though,even when not posted on a internet site how quickly,and how far away, word spreads when one of these giants are killed(160 and up) heck, just checking in a deer like that creates such a scene...it's just about impossible to keep anything a secret these days.

I remember when a 2 1/2 year-old 8-point created a scene at the check station. Now it takes 150+ to raise eyebrows.
How things have changed...

BSK,
I am old enough to remember when a 1.5 fork horn "created a
scene". In 1967 in Lewis County, when I made my deer hunting
debut, I saw 2 does that morning. I "created a scene".......all
by myself. I almost done it in my pants, when I saw those does.
