[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 4175262, member: 1409"] [b]Re: History of TN Deer[/b] Indeed, an outstanding job, not just in reintroducing deer, but wild turkey. If you think "age" isn't [u]generally[/u] perhaps [i]THE[/i] most significant single factor determining the size of a buck's antlers, note how many of Tennessee's largest recorded bucks were taken over three decades ago (and in particular in the first year of legal hunting in a particular county). This is particularly noteworthy when one considers how relatively "tiny" the total deer kill was back then. Speaking of Chuck Swan WMA, I remember the first time I went there, having what I initially thought was several medium sized dogs run by me, then suddenly realizing they were just very small deer. Other than Cades Cove, I had never previously encountered so many deer by just walking around. Actually, I believe the Chuck Swan deer density once greatly exceeded any that's ever been at Cades Cove. [/QUOTE]
