[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 4158456, member: 1409"] [b][color=#000080]Another interesting tidbit regarding the stability of TN's annual deer harvest . . . . . . For the Deer Seasons 2011 - 2014, the statewide (excluding WMAs) annual deer harvest averaged 163,788 deer.[/color][/b] The low-year harvest was 158,410 (in 2014); the high-year harvest was 171,431 (in 2012). [color=#000080][b]The 2015 total deer harvest appears to be well within and near the average of 2011-2014.[/b][/color] This thread started with the title [b]"Tennesse Buck Totals for 2015 exceed 2014"[/b] but then 2014 was the lowest annual deer harvest for the entire period of 2011 - 2014. The fact that 2015's is higher than 2014's isn't particularly remarkable. [b][color=#FF0000]While we debate the number of antlered vs. non-antlered vs. male vs. female, most of us remain "deer" hunters, with the primary purpose of killing "a" [u]deer[/u] on any given hunt more than just any particular deer. I believe that proof is in the total deer harvest of the past 5 years.[/color][/b] Not only does the stability of these numbers (year to year) add to the idea the total harvest is more determined by the number of gun days than the deer limits, but it also adds to the idea that most deer hunters have a "practical" limit of somewhere between 1 and 3 deer annually, being all they are willing to drag out no matter how long the season or how high the limits. The buck limit being higher or lower will effect the percentage females in the harvest, but may have little effect on the total annual deer harvest? [/QUOTE]
