Last year the bucks harvested in my county was over 90% yearlings. Would like to see some help with the age structure in my county. Its frustrating to have a alot of hunting ground and little to no chance at a good buck. Thank you
where did you get your info?

Go to a one buck limit and not so many weeks of gun season. The season can last into Jan but give the deer a break like they use to with archery only for 2 weeks in Dec. Also if you kill a yearling buck you cant hunt for 2 years. HAHA just calm down.

Make it illegal to kill a buck over 3.5 yr old so that the old ones can live, lol! Make bow season recurve or long bow only so that the real bow hunters will have the woods to themselves and not have to hear the whining from the elitist 60 yd compound bow hunters... stir, stir.

Although this has nothing to do with the deer season, I would like to see the elk auction tag turned into a draw tag. I'm 99% against auction tags because they remove the oportunity from the 10,000+ applicants that pay their $15 for the very limited oportunity and award it to only those that can afford it. Why handicap the sportsmen that pay >$150,000+just to reward the one person that can pay the <$7,000 for the tag.
However, the 1% of me that is not against auction tags, thinks TWRA should auction of some of the better duck blinds. It appears that these things are being bought and sold anyways. Why not capitalize on this and auction some off? Since there is no way to effectivelly enforce the selling of them, they should go ahead and make some money from it.

Telecheck. Also, allow every hunter at least one doe during gun season. I know a line has to be drawn somewhere. However, there is a place I hunt where I can't legally kill one doe all of gun season but like a mile away people can kill 3 a day. Not everyone hunts during archery or muzzleloader and I don't think they should have to wait for a buck or be forced to shoot a buck if they don't want to so they can get a deer.

Start archery Sept 1st(or the closest Saturday), Youth hunt 1st weekend of Nov, Muzzleloader 2nd weekend of Nov, Rifle last two weeks of Nov and back to archery till season closes first weekend of January. Then the 2nd youth hunt
Two buck limit-both may be harvested in one day.
No feeding and do away with "deer corn" and feeder sales in any TN store. Minerals and food plots would still be legal as they can actually help deer.
GREATLY increase the penalty for poaching. Bigger fines, time in jail, and longer suspension of licence.
I'd like to see the above but in all honesty I think TN is fine the way it is, just not for mature deer.
