It will take time to figure out the impact. I think it was a minor setback to the trophy quality of the state, and I do not understand why they messed with it.

Well it seems they knew what they were talking about is why they changed it.They said all along it would not change harvest totals much. It didn't and now people want to wait until next year.If the buck kill had went way up these same people would be saying ......told you so 
They are starting to sound like Vol fans... The two famous words... "NEXT YEAR"... Still waiting.

With the liberal limit this year?Seems like people all over Tn were hating twra when they changed the limits and muzzleloader season this year.the buck kill is about the same as last year.
I thought the buck kill would go up this year a little.So what do you all have to say?I think it worked great.It gave more hunters more chances to kill deer but the overall harvest was not changed much.
I think most are surprised by the results. It appears we killed the highest number of 3 1/2+ year-old bucks ever, and the lowest number of yearlings in decades.
I believe these results are beginning to show that "hunter choice" is becoming more of a driving factor than the limits are. More and more hunters are voluntarily passing up young bucks.

Maybe because there were less yearlings to kill. I saw fewer than I've ever seen. Fewer does to get bred during the 07 EHD outbreak, would equal fewer 1 1/2 year olds this year. Just a thought.
