[QUOTE="TX300mag, post: 4492661, member: 1683"] Of, that's silly. But as our statewide opportunity to kill deer has increased dramatically over the these years (3 buck years limit), I felt that a reduction was unnecessary-especially considering the negative impact on those that wanted things to stay as they were. Now we're getting somewhere, TheLBLman. I see where the misunderstanding about me (and why many like me) were against lowering the limit unnecessarily. You're making an incorrect ASSUMPTION that 3 is MY preference-that's not the case. In all reality, I would have gladly traded a one buck limit for more (or any rifle) antlerless opportunity 10-15 years ago. Some things happened as I transitioned to hunting TN almost exclusively that opened my eyes. I've seen many indicators that made worry that TN would follow (albeit more slowly) than other states which grew more and more obsessed with antlers. I still have my PERSONAL preference, but that's for ME-not everyone else. That's why I've only pulled the trigger on one buck in the last five years. Even with my limited skill I have had multiple opportunities each year to kill more. As the opportunity continued to get better and better, what right would do I have imposing that on someone who looks at things differently than I do? Ironically, the tipping point for me was in 2006/2007 when the most vocal proponent of the limit reduction on this site at the time was calling for a reduction while writing articles about killing THREE bucks in a single season. Although it wasn't intentional, it was viewed as hypocritical by many-especially those who were already practicing trigger restraint on bucks VOLUNTARILY. [/QUOTE]
