Bronko,
Here in TN we have very liberal bag limits. I only take what I use; however, I will occasionally harvest a couple animals to donate to families that are in need. I honestly would be able to just enjoy hunting even if I didn’t kill an animal. We do have plenty of game to hunt here in TN and the insurance companies would blow a gasket if the TWRA would place greater restrictions on the bag limits. I am a Soldier by trade; however, I am a Fisheries and Wildlife Manager and will work on federal lands once I retire from the military next month. I have been through PA and always thought that the amount of deer that I had seen there was extremely abundant. I was in WV this past weekend filming for a new Christian Outdoor TV show and I noticed a declining population since I had been through that area about 15 years ago. Blue tongue and CWD have been a contributing factor in areas that have a heavy population density of ruminants. I do agree that all too often many hunters will kill just to have bragging rights and that is wrong. I enjoy hunting and being out in nature.
