[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 3642464, member: 1409"] BSK, I believe your 3 points have much validity. At the same time, you take most any two comparable 500 to 1,000-acre tracts (similar habitat, soil, crops, management goals) . . . . . Surround one on 4 sides with a "statewide" regulation of 3 bucks annually and a 60-day gun season. Surround the other on 4 sides with a "statewide" regulation of 1 buck annually and a 30-day gun season. I believe you will see a huge difference in the same management efforts on one tract vs. the other for no other reason than those bordering statewide regs. By no means am I wanting a statewide 1-buck limit in TN (although I continue to believe 2 would be most ideal). However, I do believe shorter gun seasons and lower buck limits can greatly enhance the management goal of more larger antlered 3 1/2 and older bucks, which does seem to be a very common deer-management goal?
