How would the deer population in the state of Tennessee change if it were banned for 3 years? Would it become a so called Trophy state?

I'm no expert but I say no. it would become over-populated in some areas and the poor nutrition would cause small racks.

In two years, if no deer were taken out, the herd would be ridiculously overpopulated.....actually, in just one year, you would begin to see a big change.
not only would Tn. not be a trophy state, but killing bigger deer would be even harder (until the food ran out)simply because the more mature deer would not have to move much to find all the does they wanted.
In three years, the devastation caused by deer eating everything in sight (at least in my area)and the starvation and spread of disease would be so damaging that it would take even longer to recover than it took to do the damage....IMO.
More deer...less food.
less food...more concetration of deer and less nutrition to grow healthier deer.
more concentration of deer....more disease and starvation.
we will never see this happen, ever.

The population could spiral completely out of control, or nothing could happen too dramatic. Lots of variables come into play.

This was just a hypothetical question. I would never want to see this happen just looking to get opinions on what you guys think it(tennessee deer heard) would do.
