I am from WV and our commissioners just voted to lower our limit to 2 from 3 like what was done in TN several years ago. It was done even though our biologist did not recommend it. Our biologist said that it could actually have some negative effect and actually result in bucks with smaller racks because of habitat degradation.
It makes me wonder about this because I see in your TN deer registry that the number of entrees has decline since your limit was lowered. Jut wondered what you all are actually experiencing now with the 2 buck limit . In WV we actually have a little bit higher qualifications for our big buck registry and we actually have had a higher number of entrees each year into our registry than what TN has had. Just make me a tad worried that a mistake has been made not listening to our professional biologist.
thanks for the responses......
