I think it ought to be retro. If I didn't kill a buck last year then next year I should be able to kill 6. Not really, lol, but I've seen almost every other scenario covered under buck limit posts.

The buck limit should be whatever beekeeper and gator n buck thinks it should be since they know the most about it and post the most.

I have to say B. I have ample opportunity to reach my goal as a trophy hunter...although I don't always succeed, I sure have a lot of fun trying. Cant see the reasoning for adding needless restrictions.
In all fairness though I do hunt an area almost exclusively that has a 1 buck limit.

I only kill one per season, if that, and only TWO if I get a shot at a 100-120 plus during bow season. I may get more picky this coming season . I am running out of wall space....haha.
I have no need to prove my ability and since I can eat does, I rarely kill a buck anymore....oh, I never eat any deer with antlers......if i kill a mature buck, I give the meat to HFH.

That would make a new debate... 1.5 buck limit...LOL
I always wonder in these polls why the one buck limit guys hijack these threads...
a) because they don't want to hear the truth...
b)They don't like the facts
c)They don't like to find out that the majority of hunters in TN are not for a one buck limit...

I believe it is all of the above. I have not voted yet and the count remains:
Responses so far:
A) Too Low 4
B) About right 14
C) Too High 6

DA since Beekeeper doesn't have an all of above, added together... I guess he will have to put you down for "A". Doesn't 11 sound a little low for your standards...

There are more deer in different parts of the state. Thus the different units. No need to over or under harvest. I have seen a definite improvement in the number and quality of deer so something must be going right. I live and hunt in east tn. plus I am on a lease in unit L.

What does this prove? absolutely nothing! Do this poll statewide to every licensed hunter and then I will consider it fact! To many groupees on this site!

I would consider this site for serious hunters and you would have a better chance for more hunters answering "C" "Too High" than you would with a state wide survey...JMO

I seen it posted the other day, that maybe thats why they still have a unit B. I think there is a Unit B because of total deer population not because of the number of bucks in the herd.
I would think that would essentially mean the same thing.

Responses so far:
A) Too Low 5
B) About right 29
C) Too High 12 What does this prove? absolutely nothing! Do this poll statewide to every licensed hunter and then I will consider it fact! To many groupees on this site! I would consider this site for serious hunters and you would have a better chance for more hunters answering "C" "Too High" than you would with a state wide survey...JMO
Why would you come to that conclusion? Do you consider all serious hunters, trophy hunters?

Few bucks=No decrease in fawn numbers.
I totally disagree! If your East TN buck has to travel 10 miles to find a hot doe during her 24-36 hour window, then leaves her and does it all over again, how could this possibly not affect fawn numbers when peak breeding only lasts about a week? How much stress do you think this puts on bucks in areas with low deer densities?

Does have more to do with the herds ability to increase or maintain numbers than bucks do. To put it simply: Few does=Few fawns Few bucks=No decrease in fawn numbers.
Where is the proof of this? I hunt in counties that border unit B and have family that lives in Greene county. They tell me to many does and no bucks nowhere?

Providing that the hunters on this forum are serious, I would conclude that this would constitute an adequate segment survey. Sound logical?

Any your point? 1 1.5year old buck could breed as many does as he could get 2! That doesn't mean there are good buck numbers, heck if the overall deer numbers are low doesn't that mean that there are not enough bucks breeding does to have more bucks and does?

Truth be known, most hunters really don't give a flying rat's butt whether the buck limit is 1 or 2 or 3 or more.
Most hunters simply want to know the rules, so they don't accidently break one and get in trouble. They otherwise trust and accept that TWRA is doing a good job, and couldn't care less about the buck limits.
If we currently had a 2-buck limit, you could do a poll, and most hunters would still answer that the limit is "about right".
I'd even bet most TN deer hunters would say "fine" with a 1-buck limit, since most are not effected at all whether the limit is 1 or more than 1, as most kill "none" annually regardless of buck limits.

Excatly, everybody is always saying that most licensed TN hunters don't even kill a buck a year so why so against a 2 buck limit? Here's the answer! Cause most hunters on this site that are for a higher buck limit use 2 of the tags to burn on "pulling the trigger" and the last 1 "I'll hunt now for a good buck"

So Im just going with your thought process here wes....if we had a 2 buck limit the same people crying now that it should be lowered because they arent satisfied would be complaining and want the limit at 1? 
I'm satisfied and not crying! What was wrong with it being at 2 like we had it? Can anybody give any info that a 2 buck limit would cause any harm to our deer herd?

What does this prove? absolutely nothing! Do this poll statewide to every licensed hunter and then I will consider it fact! To many groupees on this site!
No disrespect intended, but if there are too (correct spelling) many groupies (correct spelling) on this site, it leads me to ask.... What are you doing here?
You have never had anything positive to say on here. What keeps bringing you back? Do you think you'll change everyone's mind or what? Just asking.
Have a nice day.

I wouldn't think that buck would only be 2.5 years old... That would be kind of young for a one buck limit guy.... "Let them walk, let them them grow....."

I dont need anything,just wondering where this comes from,Im sure it happens,mistakes ae made,I guess I dont pay attention as close as ya'll do.This is just fun to me,maybe Ill learn a litlle in the QDM forum,but the "Serious" forum is mostly just for arguing.
Its that time of year and I agree its all in fun... I sure miss football season...

I cant believe anyone would still be trying to suggest that TN cant produce big bucks after the hundreds of mature buck pics that are posted annually. Could possibly be a result of:
A) Drank too much kool-aid
B) On Drugs
C) Never had a lick to begin with

I'm not... TN has some nice bucks but on avg... TN can't compete with the states that everybody wants to use as examples... If you want to compare TN to FL, than TN wins hands down to the sandy state... I'm just trying to say that no matter what the buck limits are and how old the deer get... There are several elements that come into play on how big there racks get... Age can play apart but soil and genetics might play a bigger part... speaking of genetics, has anybody every wondered that since TN had to bring deer into the state the last 80 years, that it could of hurt the genetic poll by mixing so many deer from so many areas...JMO... Food for thought.

Very little in my book. Seen very few that it didnt go hand and hand. Yet to see one id pass up anyway.

This is the buck everybody keeps mentioning Football hunter. I shot this buck when I jumped him up in a field and had a split second and pulled the trigger. I had several really nice bucks on my cam in this area and thought this was 1 of them turns out I never had a single pic of this buck and he was a 2.5year old that had a really hard rut or ehd survivor? It was the only buck I took last year so 1 buck limit would have been fine considering I shot him in December. I don't see how a buck with a rack like this 1 and a 1.5year forkhorn can be considered the same? I'm a 300lb man so the buck wasn't as small as the pics show it. But anyways bash away!

Thats funny you mentioned that... The other day I just read the Tennessee Sportsman Dec/Jan 2010 and I noticed in one of the articles "10 Top Public Lands for Late-Season Deer.. that soil is mentioned several times when talking about the deer herd in certain areas.... This is one of many articles that I have seen, that mention soil as one of the key factors.... I guess hunting shows leave that out.... Never seen many filmed in E. TN....

How much did that deer weigh... field dressed....? I had a buddy that killed a 3.5 yr old 8pt. that had a nice rack but a small body... On the other hand I have seen some big body deer that had small racks in TN... I guess with the different genetic type of deer that were released in TN years ago, you never know what you might see...

I agree... The only one that we can change would be age but thats not going to give some of these hunters the high goals that they have set in their minds for the state of TN... Then we have to look at does it make sense to change regs. that are not going to benefit the majority of hunters in TN, that have different goals... There are several factors that come into play and I think TWRA does a great job considering all those factors.... JMO
P.S. Its always fun watching these buck limit polls on TN Deer... The polls always show that the majority of the hunters on TN Deer are happy with the existing buck limits... The other things I find interesting about these polls is that there is a certain group that will never let the polls run its course and they start bashing and call the poll dumb...

I don't think anyone has said TN can compete with KY or anyone other state, for that matter. I think the key word here is "improvement". Could we produce more and bigger bucks than we presently do? Sure! How much better? No one can say for certain. But if you think the buck hunting in TN is the best it could ever be, it's not. Improvements can always be made.

I agree... The only one that we can change would be age but thats not going to give some of these hunters the high goals that they have set in their minds for the state of TN... I don't think anyone has said TN can compete with KY or anyone other state, for that matter. I think the key word here is "improvement". Could we produce more and bigger bucks than we presently do? Sure! How much better? No one can say for certain. But if you think the buck hunting in TN is the best it could ever be, it's not. Improvements can always be made.
i like 3 buck limit but think that everybody could benefit if we did drop the limits on bucks and allow does to be harvested at anytime with any weapon

The other day I just read the Tennessee Sportsman Dec/Jan 2010 and I noticed in one of the articles "10 Top Public Lands for Late-Season Deer.. that soil is mentioned several times when talking about the deer herd in certain areas.... This is one of many articles that I have seen, that mention soil as one of the key factors.... I guess hunting shows leave that out.... Never seen many filmed in E. TN.... Well soil is important but it isnt worth a hill of beans without age. A 2.5 yr old in Butler Co, KY, Buffalo Co, Wisc or Knox Co, TN wont be a big buck 99.9% of the time at that age. Ive seen plenty of big bucks come out of east TN. Several of the top B&C counties are in Unit B, Fentress and Hawkins for starters. The top typical is from cumberland county. AEDC grows monsters every year and i was at the checking station the first year Oak Ridge WMA had a deer hunt (Monsters galore!). Not to mention all of the trail cam and harvest pics from east TN posted on this site. So i dont know what youve been reading about soil that has you convinced that TN cant grow big bucks. If you cant see it, i dont really know what to tell you. Sorry i guess.
Evidently, GnB hasn't heard of an East TN hunter named Bobby Worthington. He hunts public land, by the way.

I'm almost certain Bobby Worthington films all his hunts. I would post some of his kill pics, but I'm sure they're copyrighted material. He is a super great guy and would probably be more than helpful in pointing you in the right direction if you would like to see his East TN kills on video.

Tennessees buck limit is:
A) Too Low
B) About right
C) Too High
From a personal standpoint,. i say A. Simply because i have more than 3 places to hunt,. i should be allowed at least 1 buck from each place i have to hunt. If i had 10 places to hunt,.. it should be 10 buck limit. Call it selfish!!
From a management standpoint,.. i say C. I understand that in some areas,. the deer density and hunter density should allow for a lower buck harvest per hunter to save the resource and overall health of the herd,.. thus a lower limit is necassary. Thus,.. i know i may be unsuccessful,. but someone else may be successful in taking the animal they choose,. and if not,.. that buck will be allowed to grow another year,.. and help with the structure on our standing herd. Thus,.. the buck limit should be lowered to 2 bucks,.. equal oppurtunity and the resource is better protected for our future hunters.
Wasn't sure which answer you wanted,. you pick it.

Those are all great E.TN bucks, I do believe age is the most important factor(its not the only factor)but the most important on how big a buck can get body wise and rack size!

Who has better whiskey? Ky or TN....... But people will say it is aged longer in Ky. its because of the SOIL man!!! I went back and read several hunting mags. over the last several months, several experts use soil as the main reason for why an area produces certain deer... Must be something to it... I asked my dad the other day that is mainly a coon hunter why is deer bigger (Racks) in certain areas... This man has been hunting over 50 yrs.. down in FL and the first thing that came out of his mouth was soil... He mentioned a few other factors like genetics and age but he thought soil was the most important... If my daddy says it, than I'm sticking to it... This brings up another point... If TN doesn't have the right elements to produce big bucks because of soil and genetics... Will some people always be in denial and can't except the truth... I will be the first to tell you that my home state has small bucks and small racks but we have one heck of a football team "Gators"...
I am sure your daddy is a fine man, but it is very evident neither of you dont know much about TN as a whole ( soils) or anything about Ky except what you have read on this site or in a few mag.
And bragging on them oversized Lizards, I mean "Gators" on a TN site, just aint real bright.

Thanks... I just threw those up to show that not all hunters that are against a one buck limit, are meat hunters or kill the first thing that comes walking bye (Unit B/E. TN)... I think Winchester summed it up.... There are a lot of us that want to have the opportunity to shoot more than one nice buck per season...

No offense GnB, but I would be irate if one of my group shot the buck in the second pic on either of our farms. We generally let those kind walk. I'm not saying it isn't a nice buck, but that's not what we're after. I guess the point I'm trying to make is "the first thing that comes walking bye" is different to different people. The first and third one (same buck I assume) is a pretty good buck.

It's working out fairly well. Last year we had a mid 120's gross 9 pt killed in bow season (3.5), a huge 140 gross 12 pt in rifle (4.5), a 2.5 yr old 8 pt (big mistake!), and a crippled freak with 3 main beams that's the most messed up buck I've ever seen! He had a single spike growing out of the side of his head that was probably 12-14 inches long. He had a front leg cut off at the knee and looked to have been that way for some time. Looked like you cut it off with a hack saw. I have no idea what would have cut it so clean. We saw less bucks last year than we've ever seen. I would say that's a good reason for our "mistake" buck, but hey it happens. I have three 90-110" bucks on trail cam pics that made it through for sure. I let all of these bucks walk, one on numerous occasions. They should all be shooters next year. We only protect 1.5 year olds, so everything else is fair game. The 2.5 year old "mistake" would have been a bruiser next year. The buck below is the oldest we've taken off the property. I killed this buck during the 07 drought season. This buck was 6.5, though you wouldn't think so just by his rack:

That buck was a 3.5 yr old (per TWRA) and dressed out at 150 lbs... (approx 190-195 on the hoof). He was old enough by my standards... and thats, all that counts...

Thanks Keith. He FD'd 174lb and was aged at 3.5 by TWRA at the check station. Also green scored 138-3/8. He did have the mass tho, the pic really doesn't do him justice, as he was only 15-1/8 inside.

TN RDG RNR, one other interesting thing about the drought buck above. He had hickory nut hulls in his stomach and in his mouth! Just goes to show how hard that year was on our deer.

I don't hunt West TN, I hunt Mid TN. I will be happy to post pics when I get home. They're not on this computer. Smack? Not sure what you're talking about. TN RDG RNR asked a question and I answered it. I don't brag about the bucks I kill. There's alot of hunters in TN that kill a lot bigger bucks than I could ever hope to.

Here's one I had on my phone. The photo quality isn't that great. This buck was 4.5 and killed with a rifle. We still hunt the property this buck was killed on, but it has heavy hunting pressure on the surrounding properties. Any good buck we take on this property is a "bonus" as we see few shooters after the rut starts.

Here's another. I killed this buck during the 08 MZ season. My taxidermist scored him 119" gross. I've never put a tape on him, so I can't say for sure. He was 3.5. I took this pic with my phone while he was drying at the taxidermist. Another pic of this buck is in the TnDeer Trophy Room under Maury Co. Gator, I'll pm more if you like so I don't hijack someone else's thread.

I've never put a tape on him, so I can't say for sure. He was 3.5. I took this pic with my phone while he was drying at the taxidermist. Another pic of this buck is in the TnDeer Trophy Room under Maury Co. Gator, I'll pm more if you like so I don't hijack someone else's thread.
Beekeeper is cool... This thread got hijacked along time ago by a certain group that didn't like the poll... Thats common on here and the polls always show that the majority of the hunters on TN Deer agree with TWRA...

That's all I have on my phone. The rest are on my home computer.

I hope I can kill 3 nice bucks next year...
I usually do good to get one. I'm content with killing one good racked 3.5-4.5 year old every year. Sad to say, it doesn't happen for me every year, though. I'm on a 3 year streak now, I just hope it doesn't end!

TN RDG RNR asked a question and I answered it. I don't brag about the bucks I kill. There's alot of hunters in TN that kill a lot bigger bucks than I could ever hope to.
Its easier to persuade people by showing positive results YoDog rather than being confrontational.
I dont see you posting pics of what yall have accomplished on your property as bragging. I personally think its just promotes more of the same.
Most hunters want to shoot big buck they just dont want to be told that they have to.

 Check out the thread in the general forum about TWRA's sunset status. It is more important than what we are kicking around here.
I agree! I'm really upset by this!
