mathews338 ,please show us where you got this data from please ,the KY bucks avg. 20 more inches of horn and 50 pounds heavier and 1 year older,mike243 from my own time spent in stands and what i have personally killed from both states in last 10 years thats why i said maybe i'm just lucky or my spot is better than most
Awe he11!! Dude you better show some kind of chart or graph or something to back up your data. These guys love pictures. At least say it's from your own "personal study". Just a little advice.

I don't care what kind of hard data you have. Data can be used in many different ways to support pretty much any argument, as you no doubt already know. This is evident by BGG's desk reference.
I'll stick to what I've seen with my own 2 eyes. Many of us have seen the results the 1 buck limit produces, and regardless of how you want to spin it, when the two states have similar herd sizes, and one state takes nearly twice the number bucks out of the herd, the other is going to produce a better opportunity to take one of those bucks that survived the previous seasons. There are no absolutes, but when talking "chance", you have higher probability of taking the older buck in the state that allows twice the bucks to mature an extra year. One thing is for certain, if they are dead, you are not going to take them the following year. exactly what i have tried to say i hunt in KY 15 days a year give or take and hunt TN 40 days give or take and i am successful in both but notice a huge difference in the amount of mature deer in KY considering the # of days is far less the KY bucks avg. 20 more inches of horn and 50 pounds heavier and 1 year older the farm in KY is 1 hour northeast of my farms in jackson co. so soil is not a factor, age class is, 1 buck limit has to help not wanting to start arguement but your data(TWRA)doesn't seem to be accurate when you consider what me and a ton of other hunters i know are actually seeing in the woods maybe i'm alot more fortunate than i think my spots could be the exception but i doubt it
X2!!!!

Doing a little survey on the "not a 1 Buck Limit" tread...
So far...
37 hunters... and 37 bucks killed... There are a few hunters that never mentioned killing a buck but talked about others... I didn't add them since its unknown.... So far it looks like we are only avg... 1 buck per hunter...

and i don't have to put pics up to prove to anyone what i have done i proved it to myself and friends and family and any local in the county knows what i have done
and why do you think i even started going to KY it is because i saw what other locals where bringing back with them i know several guys that bring back better bucks than i do i'm not saying i'm the badest big buck killer on the planet but i'll hold my own with just about anyone believe it or not i don't care

I have killed big bucks in KY and TN, as well as other states. Based on 8K+ trail cam pictures from this past fall and summer, their are consistently bigger bucks on the TN side of the line in this area. Both in body size and antler size. The KY bucks appear to have decent body size but antler size for assumed age is about 10" shorter then the same age classes in TN. However, this is fuzzy science at best without having the deer in my hands to accurately age, weigh, and score.

Glad you have older bucks in your area to hunt kb. Not everyone is as fortunate.

hunting them is one thing, killing them is a different matter.
