[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5657821, member: 1409"] It's not just about "how many" deer are killed per square mile, but specifically "which" deer are killed. KY is approximately the same size as TN. But KY killed 17,740 fewer deer than TN. Does that mean KY had 17,000-plus more deer live another year than TN? No. But it also doesn't mean it didn't happen. Raw harvest numbers are of limited value. Of the 144,515 deer KY killed, 45.2% were female; of the 162,555 deer TN killed, 41.7% were female. In the absence of much other data, just what does this mean? We can only speculate. But I do know KY has better soils, and far less opportunity for a hunter to actually kill a buck, much less multiple bucks in any year. Therefore reasonable the average KY should be older & larger antlered than the average TN buck? [/QUOTE]
