Do you think, (or know), there is that much of a difference in herd dynamics between TN & MS in that MS has the need to protect yearling bucks statewide?

You might need to ask MS wildlife people that question.

I believe both states have healthy herds in most areas. Also, I believe most of the biologists in MS would probably agree that the only way they would advise getting rid of the antler restriction would be if a tagging system was devised and implemented. Since there is no tagging system, there are no enforceable buck limits so the antler restrictions are the only sure-fire way to prevent the over harvest of bucks.

All of these guys have the knowledge and/or experience to provide the input I'm looking for.

Not sure about that. They did implement a voluntary call in system a few years ago but I doubt it gets much use.
