Assuming we've all been scouting and closing monitoring our trail cams for the last couple months or so, what caliber of buck does everyone realistically expect to kill (or hunt) in TN this year? I ask because I usually have a pretty good idea before season based on my scouting. I consider myself a "trophy hunter", but I generally don't expect to kill a 170" buck in the area I hunt. My expectation is usually a mature 100-120" buck, as I usually have a couple on the farms I hunt, this year being no exception. But that 170"er could come strolling through at any time!

I am expecting to have a legitimate shot at several 150"+ bucks one of which is going to push 170". There is no question in my mind that I will kill one of them this year, it is just when and how many I can bring home.
