[QUOTE="BSK, post: 3924180, member: 17"] THAT is a GREAT idea, and I would support such an experiment. I think that's an over simplistic view of what grows monster bucks (and I don't mean that derogatorily, just factually). Part of what makes habitat great is the soil, as well as what grows in that soil. We will never match the soils of the Midwest, not even in our river bottoms. I can show you areas of the Southeastern Coastal regions where bucks are dying of old age on a regular basis. Yet those areas never have and never will produce a B&C buck. Why? Poor soils. No matter what we or the TWRA does, TN will never produce more than a handful of B&C bucks per year. Now I've changed my mind about bucks in the 150-170 range. I now believe TN can grow a large number of that quality of buck, and we are. I'm seeing more of them alive and in hunters' hands than I ever dreamed possible. But unfortunately, those 170+ bucks are still rare and I believe they always will be in TN. [/QUOTE]
