I am really surprised with the Harvest Report for Polk County 52 deer as of today. The 3 bordering counties have great harvest reports, Bradley-622, Monroe-350, Mcminn-1052, I grew up here and hunt here and there is a lot of National Forest and a lot of good private land. I would really think there would be a higher number on the harvest report any clues to why this might be? Besides the obviuos nobody is killing deer, just wondering if there is a poaching problem or failure to tag deer issue?

That is a crazy to think that they took that many deer, but I do not doubt it one bit. Maybe one day the local and state law enforcement will have the resources to put a stop to it, as I am sure they are aware of the problem and are doing what they can to stop it.

Isn't a lot of Polk County rugged steep terrain?

We could all help by getting plate numbers when possible and reporting when people are bragging about killing more deer than legally allowed!
I've called and gave names , license plate numbers and vehicle description and they are still at it
