I know we are all searching for an easy answers when it comes to several topics on this site:
Ky vs TN...
One buck limits...
Baiting....
meat hunters vs trophy hunters...
Soil vs limits...
I think its human nature to look for a simple answer for a complex problem... Life never seems to work that way and changes don't alway solve the problem... One last thing... If you think we have it bad, look at some other states that wish they had the deer we do... Its human nature to always want more but theres a limit to everything in life...JMO

I come from Az. I will never complain about the deer hunting here. People do not realize how good we have it. Most people are just bored.

I think its human nature to look for a simple answer for a complex problem...
That's part of Human Nature and one of the primary reasons we are such a successful species--we have the ability to reason and formulate a "better/easier way" in our minds without having to actually try it first.
Although this skill has made us highly successful, when it comes to finding the "complete answer" to any question, we tend to fall short. Our minds want to lock onto to the easiest and simplest answer, even when the answers are often very complex. In fact, extreme complexity tends to cause the human mind to "rebel" and look for easier answers. Many psychologists and sociologists believe that is why "New Age" (actually, reworked Old Age) beliefs have become so popular. It's a lot easier to believe in crystalography, shamans, whitchcraft, etc. than to believe the nearly unfathomably complex truth.

It is also human nature to become complacent and lazy, allowing "great" situations to deteriorate into "just OK", and then deteriorate into "bad" situations.
From an overall perspective we may very well have the best state wildlife agency in the Southeast with our TWRA.
And I believe THESE are THE GOOD OLE DAYS of DEER HUNTING in TENNESSEE right NOW!
But I also know that human nature is complacent and lazy, and the only thing constant is change. Change for the better, or change for the worse, but nothing stays the same.
Not looking for any simple solutions, but just count me as one who prefers being more proactive in trying to make things better, even if they're already good. Why not?
The do-nothing alternative could be to let a good thing slip away, as in that the more complacent we become as hunters, perhaps the more complacent those become who "manage" the public wildlife (in regard to the preferences of hunters). It's just human nature.
Most problems begin with a lack of effective communication. If we keep the doors of communication open between everyone and the TWRA, not only can we keep things great, but maybe even make things better.
OPPORTUNITY is a terrible thing to waste.
