Here in East Tennessee, i have seen quite a few more bucks, just havent seen a whole lot with size. if a few of the bucks i have seen, would make it a few more years, boy they would be some dandy bucks. heck i seen a spike the other day, in my back yard in town, had 10-11 inch spikes, it was awesome and actually beautiful, they crossed at the top. but all and all things seem to get better, tell you more in about a month
