We have several thousand acres spread out over 6 or 7 land owners that do a very nice job of managing.
It truly is amazing what can be accomplished under the right circumstances (extremely low hunter density, most hunters managing for top-end old bucks, and huge acreage). But how many hunters in TN are in that situation? 1 in 1,000? 1 in 10,000?

Deaddownwind, u guys along that mountain have a lot of idiots fooled that they can grow em like yall, but the key to yalls method is yall do have 1,000 and 1000's of acres between yall! I hunt 120 acres and can't grow em like yall because everyone around me blast anything with horns! So for me when in Rome!LOL if its 2.5 or better its dead.

You guys wouldn't believe some of the deer they have took! My in-laws own land a half mile from them but have about 100 hunters between them and deer mecca! They don't grow 130's but have so many 110-115 in deer it make Ye head spin.

The buck standard I have is as follows... If I can get my cross hairs on his shoulder, he's headed to the freezer. There's one for the trophyists. 
Not all the time there shakey.... LOL

I have no standards. For me it all depends on whether I want to drag it back to the truck or not. I do try to not shoot fawns unless I can tell for sure its not a nob head.
