Default tennessee hunters can take 120 deer per hunter.

i live in bedford county......tennessee wildlife resources has about 10 counties that each hunter can take 120 deer per hunter.. i live in one of those countys.....our county has to many deer....Hunters in some parts of Tennessee might be allowed to take as many as 120 deer next season.



That tremendously high bag limit will be considered Wednesday by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency.

But no one would really be able to reach it.

A hunter would have to kill three deer a day all rifle season, along with a maximum take during bow hunting season.

The reason for the potential change: the state is now overrun with about a (M) million deer.

That's a big difference from the early 1900s, when only a few thousand deer remained.

The herd was restored because of state regulations limiting the number of deer killed and when they could be hunted.

Now officials say it's time to make sure the animals are healthy and don't overgraze their environment.


looks like i need to be giving away free deer meat to the hungry...what do you think....
