[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5155747, member: 1409"] As an aside, it's my understanding that TWRA doesn't really "manage" PI WMA for "trophy" bucks so much as they just follow the guidelines via the City of Memphis, which mandates no gun hunting, and extremely limited archery-only hunting for the primary purpose of controlling the deer population on this island (which is very close to Downtown Memphis). When this arrangement began, PI was very over-populated with deer. The relative scarcity of deer there now was caused more by Mother Nature (flooding) than by anything else. And, PI is also not "state" land either. Not sure if it's owned by the City of Memphis or the Memphis Port Authority, but it's not "state" land. [/QUOTE]
