I found two interesting thread on KYHunting.net regarding big bucks in KY and IN:
http://www.kentuckyhunting.net/forums/showthread.php?t=91957 -- Is Indiana going to overtake Kentucky as a trophy state?
http://www.kentuckyhunting.net/forums/showthread.php?t=91941 -- What single reason makes Kentucky a trophy state
The general consensus is that KY's rise in antler score can attributed to going to a 1-buck limit. The proposition that Indiana is overtaking Kentucky is arguable. The original statement came from an IN official.
I agree that the 1-buck limit has probably done the most for KY's herd than anything else. When I hunted Indiana back in the early 90's I was seeing much bigger and better bucks in places like Dearborn and Switzerland counties. KY was a spike-n-fork type of scene. In those days you could take 2 bucks in Kentucky.
I would not agree that 1-buck limits are a pancea. I think it was a good call for the state and for the time. There is also some talk about KY's poaching problem. I agree; it has a major impact on the herd. I don't know how it stacks up with other states.

Frankly, I couldn't agree more. You certain have summed up the gist of those two threads. Thank you for sharing. Say hello to your kid sister for me. Tell her I'd go for the Savage in .243 WIN and buy a nice 3-9X Bushnell Banner to top it off. Be sure to send pictures!
