201,288 for final number, maybe.

Antlered - 104,986

Unantlered - 96,302

Almost 105K bucks killed.

That's a pile of bucks that was slain...

And I thought does are slaughtered disproportionally.

Remember: these are game check numbers, which may or may not be anywhere near the actual numbers. Proceed with caution.

and it doesn't prove a damn thing about the health of our herd....

I cant see where it has done any good .

Then those shouldn’t complain when it gets all screwy. I’m pretty sure most states have a similar system. Do they have as much resentment?
I don’t get it.

No, but they had those systems for decades. They’ve been accustomed to them and in some states, such as Wisconsin and Ohio, have citizen groups that actually work with and/or communicate with their DNRs about proposed changes.

Ohio DNR sets its seasons on two-year cycles based on “harvest” data and other factors. I think Wisconsin may do something similar.

I was more or less referencing surrounding states like MS, TN and Arkansas. Arkansas App is almost identical to ours. I don’t hear those guys commenting much at all. When I hunted WI those guys were bitching about their DCNR wanting to kill all the deer cause CWD was in the south east portion.

Several things stood out back during those 4 years hunted WI. From 04-07

GWs were seen constantly when we were hunting
They’d watch us shoot geese, 48 hours to call it in and they had your name and tag number I’m sure since they checked out trucks and watched the hunt. They measured our layouts from shore. Had to maintain at a minimum a 500 yard distance from shoreline while diver duck hunting and the wind did shift the water.

On the MF lease we kept records. They still do so that’s almost 30 years of data. If we had bad data we’d have screwed rules I guess.
Had to pull jaw bone and weigh it
Condition it, simple
Does if milk was present.
The same as what the state required. Two bios helped me develop a plan and interpret

That info told us the health of our deer herd and the timing of the rut. For for over ten years we could chart it and the rut never changed. Health did depending

The only thing I can think of is we as a state was so liberal compared to other states. The surrounding states I knew of had limits for the season, not daily for deer. We had the most liberal limit with bucks and gobblers.

Thats the only thing I can reason as to why.

Honestly I could care less about deer. Net a few times but don’t really care to fool with them. The guys at the farm keep me in venison so I’m good. Getting my turkey gun setup and been running mouth calls for a week now. So I’ll be chasing I guess

Tennessee final numbers are 152,738 with 60% being bucks and 40% doe.

Tennessee is approximately 83% of the land area compared to Alabama with 76% of the deer harvest compared to Alabama.

Those numbers seem fairly close. So is Tennessee killing too many deer/bucks or is it just Alabama?

It hasn't. It's given Cucky the ability to manipulate the numbers to do whatever his agenda wants to do. He truly is a piece of chit

Now what did you go and do that for? Injecting facts and accurate numbers up in here.
