[QUOTE="Grnwing, post: 4128225, member: 14910"] I too am from South Florida, the Big Cypress area is managed for the panthers as the deer are an important food source for them but you cannot contribute the total decline in deer harvest numbers just to the panthers. I've seen deer/bears/panthers all in an evening The introduction of the pythons have greatly reduced all mammal numbers in the area(deer/hogs/raccoons/opossums). I am glad Tennessee doesn't have as many threats to the deer population as S Florida but whenever a new predator is introduced to an area it will have an impact, just not sure how much of an impact panthers would have in Tennessee. On the other end of the country, you have Minnesota dealing with Wolves that along with several harsh winters have really but a stress on the deer heard, that will continue to be an issue for game managers to find a balance.
