... I must also hasten to say, I am not nor have I ever been a hunter.

But I know that in Southestern Virginia the average deer is about two thirds the size of a deer in my childhood home state of PA. They are like big dogs.

I think the size of the deer in Tennessee (If that is where you will be hunting) is part of the picture.

Also, in PA deer hunting is accomplished differently from hunting in in Southeastern VA. The shots are shorter in both states than they might be in TN. I could be wrong because I don't know about the terrain.

Just some thoughts.
