I have to agree with some on here MOST people that are poaching are going to kill any buck. There are a few that are just trying to feed there family and the will shoot the first thing they see. and they will not take more than they need. If my family was going hungry I would do it and if it got bad enough the neighbors cow might get it... Ok that might be taking it to the extream but you now whaat I mean

The one buck limit has got to cause more poaching than our 3 buck limit.
I'd say when you look at the total big picture, whether the buck limit is 1, 2, 3, or 11 --- it makes little difference.
Poachers don't obey laws.
Many if not most deer are poached outside the season, too.
What I can say for sure is that a 3-buck limit will result in the death of more bucks annually than a 1-buck limit, for no other reason than most people do have some respect for the rule of law.

Im sure a 1 buck limit in Tn would cause more poaching. It is a completely unnecessary restriction that's only purpose would be to quite a few. Many hunters would see it as just that and ignore bag limits.
I honestly believe that the push to go to a 1 or 2 buck limit has much to do with limiting hunters time in the woods/ pressure on deer and very little to do with the number of bucks killed.

Don't forget the poachers that are legally hunting but for some reason they decide not to check one in, once they get home (hunting camp). I have had several friends that hunt KY and this is there biggest complaint...

When i went to school in kentucky, i figured out real fast that the telecheck system was used by those that had to have someone process their deer. For many, if they could make it home, the KDFWR would never be the wiser. They would also put the tags on the deer with 2-sided tape so it could be removed and used on another deer during transport, just in case they got pulled over. I knew one individual that killed a very large buck with a shotgun slug during squirrel season, prior to the archery opener. he caped the buck, processed it at home, and put it in the freezer. When the season opened, he called it in, then waited a couple of weeks to take it to a taxidermist. When he was reported, they were just happy he checked it in, nevermind it was killed out of season. Without a checking station, they had no proof of when he killed it, and getting a kill tag for the taxidermist was easy.
There are also alot of people in kentucky, virginia, etc. 9State with telecheck) that have never deer hunted in their lives, but they have checked in deer over the phone, often as landowners that don't have to buy a license. i have even had landowners tell me that i could come hunt and they would check it in for me.
Telecheck is a poacher's dream. JMHO
With all that, i guess i am saying that only the extremely honest are limited to one buck, and many people do not see it as being dishonest as long as the deer is checked out, even if it is by someone that did not kill it.

No doubt, poaching goes on in every state and in every county. However, not all people are poachers. In fact, the vast majority of true hunters hunt by the law. I can't believe what I'm reading on this thread. Sounds as though, some impressionable people, who might stumble onto this thread, would/could actually perceive that it would be OK to do this; since there appears to be a ton of people doing it already. No, I hunt by the books, and I insist on this practice by anybody and everybody that is on a lease with me, period! If this thread is intended to somehow bash the KDFWR, then shame on you. If not, then I apologize. I choose to pay the price for the higher license and the higher lease prices in Ky. each and every year; because, IMO, I have a better chance at harvesting the caliber of deer that I am looking for there.....not because they have telechek!

So do you people think that you cant kill 10 bucks a year here in TN and do the same things you are describing in KY and not get caught? Sorry but lots of people do it all the time. It doesnt take a genius to figure out how to elude one man in 400 square miles.
