[QUOTE="BSK, post: 4229226, member: 17"] TheLBLman, Please don't get the impression this new buck rule is what I'm concerned about. Although it is a bad rule, and WILL cause problems--most notably a reduction in doe harvests as hunters ensure they don't accidentally kill an acorn spike--the real problem is the tone and trajectory of TN deer management. I believe I've been involved in the politics of state deer management long enough to see where we're headed. This isn't anything new. This new buck rule is just one more symptom of the larger problem. I've seen it time and again in states across the Southeast. In fact, I don't believe my predictions are overly dire, considering how other states have followed this pattern. In my professional opinion, [i]for an entire state[/i], managing for larger antlers is a very bad idea, and that is unquestionably the direction we're headed. [/QUOTE]
