when you make hunters shoot a certain type of deer your taking out the freedoms of hunting.
I give this a BIG DITTO!
IMO Hunting is one thing I feel like is a right and not a privilege. For Agencies such as the TWRA to limit deer for the sake of having deer to hunt in the future is one thing, but to try and force people to hunt certain deer for the sake of "trophy" hunting or whatever other reason is pure BS. Again that's jmho.

I know a gentleman who doesn't shoot does and only bucks and he doesn't even eat deer meat. It doesn't get wasted, he donates it.

I really don't like the idea of the earn a buck system myself either. When I posted this subject I was thinking that this might help bring the buck to doe ratio into check? But the ratio is so different in each region and even county to county in some areas of the state. I respect the opinion of each person that replied to this post, But I still think its a bad idea to kill small bucks one after other and never take a doe. IMO, that hurts every hunter, especially the ones that only have a limited time to be in the deer woods!

I understand your reasoning clear plasticman and couldnt agree more. I dont see whats wrong with having a few more bucks walking around for limited and new hunters. The fair share of the TN buck population is 1. Do the math. Its hard getting that sharing the resource thing through though.

3 small young bucks yes. Not much butt busting involved in that task. Let the rookies have a few for Pete's sake! If you let one walk you might realize how easy it is.

I bet you I could take you to public land where killing a yearly buck is harder than killing a good buck on your private land.Stop putting people down for hunting different than you.I am sick of you acting like you are better than anyone else.just let people hunt and have fun.

when the state tells me what i have to shoot im done!
The state already tells you what you have to shoot, when you can shoot it, how many you can shoot, and what you have to shoot it with.
