[QUOTE="Harold Money jr, post: 5768138, member: 4591"] The thread on the Tennessee Archery record buck reminded me of the story the old gentleman told me. He said it was like the year after the game and fish commission brought in a bunch of deer from Wisconsin. This was basically a northern deer just in Tennessee for a short while. I can’t wrap my mind around there not being any deer to speak of at all in Tennessee. My question is, was there a lot of deer here and settlers killed em all out or were there really not as many as today. It seems to me several states including ours has tried to really eliminate large numbers of deer and we’re not too successful as hunters at the elimination part. It just puzzles me that the lack of good transportation and quality firearms would lead to several large pockets where deer and turkeys could have survived. Is there a good book on the story? I’d love to hear what y’all know. [/QUOTE]
