[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5657824, member: 1409"] Oh, less stressed deer also live to older ages, and do so more healthily. This is part of why an average 6 1/2-yr-old Iowa buck has much larger antlers than an average TN 6 1/2-yr-old buck. By the way, much of the antler high grading in TN is done by poachers, not just legitimate legal hunters. I do believe the high-grade poaching in TN is worse than in KY, in part because poachers can "pose" as legal gun hunters over twice as much in TN vs KY. Most of the top-end poached bucks are "checked in" as legal kills, most killed during deer season. [/QUOTE]
