[QUOTE="DoubleRidge, post: 5784167, member: 20594"] But to be fair...you cant grow 150 class bucks behind every tree anywhere...even in Iowa...but your point is clear that while not impossible...its difficult in TN to manage for 150+ bucks...but it is possible to manage for 130" with opportunities at 140" deer from time to time...and there are many on here who can testify to that...and occasionally a 150+ buck will be taken on managed TN lands...thats fact. But I understand your point on antler high grading and how on public land in Missouri, Ohio, Kentucky and Illinois that your odds at a 150+ buck may be better than what we have in TN...but when I live in TN and manage land in TN and do habitat projects in TN and have legitimate opportunities at 130" and occasionally a 140" bucks in TN...this meets my goals...Tennessee isnt Iowa...but it also is capable of producing plenty of bucks that meet "most" hunters expectations...manage for a healthy age structure and try to kill the most mature bucks avaliable and the inches of antler will be what they are.
