So if I hunt Grundy and Marion county (which used to be in two separate units) with 2 doe in each unit does this mean instead of 4 doe I'm only allowed 2?
I am very surprised to see "dogs allowed" by the new gun bear hunt for BHZ4. Not at all what I expected and will cause lots of landowner issues in these areas where private land tracts are generally small but I'm for anything that gets rid of more bears.
Looks like one is hunt 4 and the other is unit 5. Used to you could kill your limit in each unit. I would think that's still true.

Two antlerless with a rifle
That's not good for all of us. Time will tell how it truly impacts everyone.Two antlerless with a rifle
That's my worry also. I dont shoot does anymore but I'm sure alot of people do. Morgan county has had a declining deer harvest for many years now.

It makes me happier than a two peckered puppy!!!
It's always been two anterless, or did the line move from the 3/day areas. Ignore my ignorance I've only ever hunted in Hamilton and Marion counties.
I can remember when we weren't allowed an antlerless with a rifle. They did move the 3/day line closer as well

In my county it was two for quite awhile just was broken done 1 two weeks before Christmas and 1 the two weeks after Christmas, than it just went to 1 with a rifle i guess to simplify things. Glad to get the extra doe back since loosing the third buck several years ago for no biological reason
I never noticed that in the regs. I just looked at last year's. I have been educated thank you.
Yep terrible idea for a lot of counties. Kill em all is the mentality.
I'd rather they kept the doe's and give back the buck.

And wont hurt a thing in alot of counties, the way they grouped such different counties together was a mistake, its gonna be up to every individual to do as they see fit to do with their farms within the regs. If you cant hadle shooting two does with a rifle than dont. Its really pretty simple

I hear ya brother i miss that third buck tag, alot of farms cant handle the extra doe but could handle the extra buck no problem! I have serious doe problems on several farms and im tickled to have another doe tag! Self regulation is really gonna be important in alot of less fortunate deer counties that got put in with better deer counties

Looks like no change for my area, which is fine.
I just hate these years with a late Thanksgiving hence a late opening to MZ season (years where Nov. 1 falls on a Friday or Saturday, pushing Thanksgiving one week later). Having MZ opener as late as Nov. 8 or 9 misses some of the best hunting the first week of November in my area. I would love to have MZ opener always linked to the first full weekend of November instead of two weeks before gun opener. Yes, this would mean some years MZ season runs for three weeks instead of two, but what would it matter considering how long gun season is?

Scott, Morgan, and Fentress counties should have no antlerless deer in rifle season!
Yes it was a mistake to lump those counties together. Unfortunately you can't rely on hunters to do the right thing, they just won't do it's not that simple. That's how deer and Turkey were wiped out to begin with, hunters won't don't the right thing.
Absolutely correct. But I'm sure someone that isn't a native will tell us how it should be
I would rather have the third buck vs second doe

No doubt! I have huge doe problem on several farms ,so im tickled to have another doe tag
Pickett is right there with you
Agree with that too. Unfortunately I don't think it's going to matter for any of us. Now that Overton is 3 does a day(which is absolutely insane), I've already heard the local poachers saying that every one of their kills will be checked in as Overton County.
Yeah I was shocked by Overton county also. Insanity
If they're poachers maybe they'll start checking them in. I really don't see how they thought this was a good idea, but they certainly don't care for the public's opinion on things. And that may be more of a commissioner issue than a twra issue.

How do they come up with these management approaches. Are they looking to wipe out the population. Now in Greene county you can kill and extra doe in muzzleloader and extra in gun season. It was already tough on the doe population with the old bag limits. Different parts of the county have drastic differences in doe populations. Besides some private property it will be devastating on every piece of public I hunt. Decrease the population even more TWRA that should make it easy to recruit youngsters to the sport.
