[QUOTE="AXL78, post: 4155622, member: 16362"] LBL, I think attributing less bow hunting to the limit change is unrealistic. Weather-yes. Also, less hunting is a bad thing. Avoiding the woods so as to not spook up the deer, hunt with a more effective weapon, etc., are all attributes of a trophy hunter, not a typical Tennessee deer hunter. They would rather get to the woods whenever they can. The 5% that you assumed we saved is not directly linear. It does not correlate to 10%, 15%, etc. It tops out I think, I may be wrong though, but I think it had topped out under the 3 buck limit. And I also question how you assess the antler characteristics of the bucks that survived the 2014 season. I think a 2 buck limit promotes antler high grading, not the opposite. I am not attacking you, but I just don't take all these assumptions at face value. I feel differently, obviously. I am not saying the 2 buck limit is the end of the world, but I don't think some of these assumptions are fair to promote it. [/QUOTE]
