[QUOTE="TNDeerGuy, post: 4155648, member: 3702"] Wrong Wrong and very Wrong Yes it was intended to decrease the buck harvest—as admitted by numerous TFWC commissioners—including the very vocal Trey Teague (that doesn't even hunt the State he is charged with overseeing), Jeff McMillin and Jim Ripley, all whom I personally hold responsible for getting it ramrodded thru! It has never been about hunter success, it has been about hunter success grown in inches of an antlered bucks rack—they weren't bashful in admitting that either in the public forum. Most importantly, and the biggest smoke within the post, is your statement about herd health! Herd health was never, never, never even close to being part of conversation when the TFWC did the public discussions—it was all about growing inches of antlers, I was shocked they were so bold about it, which actually says a lot about the dealing and goings on within that corrupt political bunch of hacks anyway—that discussion for an upcoming day, once things get organized! Jeff McMillin was brash enough to say that he believes that small bucks should never be shot, if you want meat—shoot a doe and Trey Teague was right there bobbing his head like a bobblehead doll going down an old dirt road—is that the kind of decision process our deer herd deserves. There is no documentation anywhere that says anything about our herd being unbalanced, unhealthy and in the need of some type of correction to guard the health of our deer herd, and when you look at our data objectively, we actually are better than most states around us and the majority was never in support of the change anyway. As it stands right now, the harvest data isn't looking too good for the plans the trophyists on TFWC had envisioned. Granted it's just the first year, but many predictably wrongly envisioned this massive amount of younger bucks being saved, and the data supports the opposite. I am excited about one thing in the early data, that may likely change this week, is the amount of 1.5 year old does that may make it through! [/QUOTE]
