[QUOTE="Shed Hunter, post: 3924355, member: 10556"] It's all about the attitude. I know of more good bucks killed each year in Tennessee than I know of in Texas (personally). I know a LOT of people that pay a LOT of money to hunt down here but because they're too embarrassed to shoot a 3.5 or 4.5 year old buck, they shoot a couple of "culls." A 5.5 year old buck in Texas is tough to kill just like it is in Tennessee. I don't know what happens to these bucks, but hunters aren't killing them. I know guys that let DOZENS of 130"+ bucks feed at their feeders and then scratch their heads when they never see a mature buck. But the trophy obsession culture won't let them shoot a 135" or 140" buck and be happy about it if it's not 5.5.[/quote] I was kinda getting at what BSK was implying in the post above this one.. TN does not have the ability to produce booners like any of the trophy states do. We don't have the soil. BSK-thinking a little deeper, my idea of a B&C every couple of years in some places of TN is almost definitely exaggerated, but it goes without saying that if we took out best areas for hunting and regulated them better, we would over time see more of these 170+ deer.
