[QUOTE="jaybird62, post: 5245030, member: 3437"] If you didn't get vaccinated, then you should get to hunt with any weapon Oct. 1 to Jan. 1. If you got the "shot," then atlatl only and no limit. If you can't tell, I'm trying to be absurd to match the initial post. There wasn't any biological reason to lower the buck limit from 3 to 2, just a wanna-be biologist on the Commission who wanted to be the trophy buck god of Tennessee. Yes, passing up young bucks leads to more in the next age class the following season. That harvest mentality was already manifesting itself 20 years ago, which bumped a lot of bucks into the 2 1/2-year-old class when they were killed. That was twice as old as the average buck killed when I started hunting in Tennessee during the bow season in 1981. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that biological data collection is so thin on a state-wide level that there's no way to prove that the average age class of bucks killed has matured any further than the data that was collected 15 years ago. That being said, LEAVE IT ALONE. If you want your home state to have a 1-buck limit and shorter gun season, move to Kentucky. [/QUOTE]
