With the check in system in place in KY does anyone believe that KY is really a one buck limit state. I know several people that hunt KY and they have alot of complaints and stories about the # of bucks that are never checked in...? I just bring this up since a lot of guys want to use KY as an example...
Do you think considering TN is #3 and KY #4 in the top 10 poorest states in the U.S. that it plays a role in poaching? Deer would make a good meal for families needing food..?

I would say that the majority of folks obey the laws. In my opinion folks who would bend a 1 buck limit would bend any limit no matter how large or small.
People are either poachers or not in other words.

Sure, I here single rifle shots all the time when I am in the mtns grouse hunting, turkey hunting, or working on our project.
But the poaching I am sure has a larger impact on Does then it does bucks. JMHO.

The one buck limit has got to cause more poaching than our 3 buck limit.

I'm not sure thats correct considering that most poachers could care less if they are bucks or does and deer don't have antlers in most of the off season... The call in system is kind of interesting considering a poacher makes it home before he can make a phone call... I guess it never gets called in...

I would have to say this is correct especially if you have to call it in... If you don't have a cell phone do you go to the nearest pay phone or do you go home... interesting

A doe can feed a needy family too, but if I were in a situation
where my family was going hungry, I would shoot the first deer
that I saw.
The fact is, most poachers want to kill a buck, any buck, and
another fact is.......most of poacher's families are not going
hungry.

Poachers aren't poaching to feed anything but their ego.
