I have not looked but does twra post harvest numbers by per hunter? I wonder what the stats are of %of hunters that shoot more then one or two bucks a year and how many hunters say kill more then 10 does. When i checked my last deer in at aedc they had 10 does and i think 60 bucks klled.

In my little area the buck to doe ratio was terribly out of balance. Because for years the twra allowed way to many bucks to be killed and not enough does. Back in the 80s and all through the 90s folks were killing 6-10 bucks a year and very few does because that is the way the seasons were set. Well guess what about 15 or 20 years of that nonsense we had a very out of balance herd. Now the buck limits have decreased not near enough doe limits and hunting pressure has increased. All of this adds up to dwindling deer herd. Again I can only speak for my neck of the woods. The seasons are to long and the limits are to high. Were hunting deer with a firearm for over 2 solid months without a break. That is just ridiculous.

i love the long season and the 3 buck limit.

Its not the three doe a day around here that is so negative its the length of gun season. Do we want to lean towards an Alabama or South Carolina deer herd or towards being like Kentucky with plenty of time to get a deer but not excessive gun hunting.

The people in charge of Alabama,South Carolina,Tennessee must play golf together for fun.
