[QUOTE="Headhunter, post: 4957361, member: 652"] Sorry, but I believe the TWRA has no clue as to age structure of deer killed. There is basically no data collection on that aspect deer killing in Tennessee. Never has been. Really, 99.9 percent of 2.5 years olds will never become better bucks. That is wrong also. Way to many areas that "never had any decent bucks, no good genetics, bad soil, etc." and the hunting is restricted, or access is lost completely for whatever reason, and in a few years there are all kinds of bucks, nice ones, trophy bucks, and the occasional giant. True, not every deer will grow into a good deer and most likely many will never be much over the average, but to say 99.9 percent will not be better deer??? That goes against anything I have ever personally seen. Also those areas that suddenly have little or zero hunting pressure and you start seeing great bucks happen for a reason. Deer know when they are or are not being hunted. Just because you don't see better bucks or even get pictures, sure DOES NOT mean they are not there. People that hunt strictly by cameras have no clue what they are missing out on. [/QUOTE]
