Two things,
With the acorn crop being so large this year, does are more spread out, and bucks have to travel more.
BUT,
Whether its peoples attitudes towards QDM, or the 3 buck limit, who knows what... Deer are getting bigger in TN.

And its only possible with a one buck limit! Looks like TWRA needs to tell the deer they can't get that big without a one buck limit. Good job TWRA with the management and congratulations to TN hunter's for doing themselves what other states forced upon its hunting population.
Really!!! Are we talking about the same state that has 34 B&C bucks all-time? I do agree that some great deer are coming out of TN and can assure you don't want TN to be considered a trophy state. However this should show everyone the potential TN has to produce top end bucks if managed in that direction. This should be a good argument against the theory that TN can't grow trophy bucks because of soils all the other bad reasons thrown out there...seems to me the genetics are there at least in places.
I know what's to come now........ LOL

Yes it has been a good year for big bucks in Tennessee. It make you wonder how many others that have been killed and never get posted on this web site or any other website for that matter. I also wonder what the percentage of bucks 140+ are made public for all to see.

I'd say a LOT more don't make it public than do. I know of at least a dozen really good deer that's not been on here and that's just the ones I've known about.

Its come a long way in my opinion over the past decade or so. I've seen a lot of big deer taken in my home town especially over the last two years, not to mention all of the studs taken statewide we've all seen posted on here. Buddy of mine got a real nice 8pt this morning.

Coming from the Midwest I may not have see the same size giants as I did there but then we always talked about the giants that came from Canada and Alaska. The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence

Terrible state to trophy hunt, abysmally managed. No reason for any one to come here to hunt. In addition, the cougars are absolutely everywhere.
