[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 4543144, member: 1409"] Now, Roost, you know I'd be the first to agree with you that the "soil" issue differences have been widely over-stated. But in the context of a [b]3 1/2-yr-old[/b] buck breaking 150, it can make the difference. But, agreeing with you, those other differences you mentioned likely make more difference than the soil (assuming that soil is at least decent), if we're just talking about producing 150-class bucks (regardless of age). When everything is a fairly level playing field, it's going to be [i]AGE[/i] that produces the most 150-plus bucks. Because of those other differences, in your case of KY vs. TN, short 1-buck gun season vs. long 2-buck gun season (which had been 3 bucks), there is no way TN can approach the number 150-class bucks as can KY. Even if our soil was as good as KY's. I'm just glad we no longer have an 11-buck limit, because when we did, there were tons of KY hunters coming to TN for the live target practice which helped them better shoot those big KY bucks :tu: Sure is nice to hunt on either side of the TN-KY state line, and take advantage of the best of these two worlds :) [/QUOTE]
