[QUOTE="woodswise, post: 4127611, member: 3994"] Yes they had the same harvest board at the south check station. I left at dark Sunday and there were 20 bucks on the board. A quick look at the TWRA harvest report shows 24 bucks were checked and there could have been deer checked after I left. The previous two seasons for both hunts have almost twice the numbers posted and if you venture back even further either the deer have gotten a lot smarter or there are lots less kills based on statistics. Less harvest usually is a reflection of deer population unless you wanted to say current hunters are simply choosing to pass...doubtful. My personal observations are reflective of the harvest data and like I posted earlier there seems to be some pockets where there are more deer. The check station used to be across the road in a small building and frequently during the hunts vehicles would be backed up out of the parking lot and up the trace sometimes in double digits. Bet you never see that now. This year seemed a low ebb in the overall population and is reflective in the harvest data. I'm not doing any more than simply making an observation on my part it's the greatest Big woods hunt in Tennessee and I wish it were like it once was there were lots of Giant bucks. [/QUOTE]
