Here is a list compiled by Field & Stream showing (supposedly) the best states, in order, for liklihood of a hunter taking a deer (either sex). I was more than a little shocked to see my home state, Tennessee rated so very low :shocking:. In my area of Tennessee we have so high a population, the bag limit is three deer a day for the entire season, with proper licences. 162,000 deer were harvested in Tn this season and our total population is 1,000,000 +/- Maybe Tennesseans are just bad shots??:w00t:
Color me shocked! :no:
