is there anyone with information about deer season limits and maybe harvest records from way back in the 70s until now?

I think deer season opened in my county (Haywood) in the mid to late 60s....not sure though.

I think it would be very interesting (especially for the youngsters here) to see the limits and harvest records for each year since then.

For example, the first year that I hunted, I think the limit was one antlered deer. I think that was 1974. Not positive though.

Maybe there is someone here that has access to this info along with the number of licensed deer hunters during those years....

If so, please share....

i think that some of you Whipper Snappers out there have no idea just how far deer season has changed and how the sport (activity)has truly grown since the 1970s....

thanks

BH- TWRA use to publish a Big Game Harvest Reord book every year. I have about 10 of them but I suspect the information you want would have to come from BGG. I'm sure he has it all on disc. Back, sometime in the early 80's, I wrote the history of TN's Deer herd. I believe it was published in the G&F magazine for TN-TN Game and Fish. But what you want is what BGG has.

I can tell you, deer restoration started this way. These deer were trapped on the Central Peninsula and released at Cheatham WMA. Willy Taylor and Sam Williams did the trapping. It was several years after this that a season was opened. I'm sure Daryl has all that info somewhere.

In the above posted picture, if anyone knows the names of the three men in the foreground in suits, I would like to know who they are.

The first deer killed in Haywood County on the harvest report I have is 1965. There were 41 reported. Anderson(49 deer), Campbell(50 deer), Monroe(3 deer), Polk(28 deer), and Union (41 deer) counties had thier first recorded harvest in 1952.
