when all the brown downers in tn start complaining about no deer is probably when the govs cronyies on the twrc will command the twra to reduce doe limits so the population will rebound in overhunted areas
the brown downers are the root of this and eye candy limits for them as put out by the twrc to the twra for license sales are to blame also
from very reliable inside sources that I have spoken and others have also spoken too
almost 2/3rds of the twra biologist 5-7 yrs ago were against increased doe limits and having back to back ml and then rifle season
a lot of them are also in favor of a 2 buck limit
which most people I hunt with or associate with are also in favor of
our regs
are designed for the bubba brown downer hunters who get out opening weekend of ml and rifle
guys who might hunt 6-7 days a yr max is what drives our regs
and then the guys who have connections with twrc political appointees by the governor
good ole boy shyt................
the regs when we had 2 separate ml seasons and rifle seasons
and bow seasons worked just fine
at least the deer got a respite between ml and rifle with that week of bow inbetween
this was changed for simplicitys sake
cause it just soo confusing to your average hunter according to the twrc
b.s.
it was done so friends of twrc appointees could hunt back to back ml and rifle cause they was ticked off cause bow hunters got some pre rut and rut action
unfortunately it will never change
twra people have stopped fighting the govs appointees on the trwc cause of job security
which I have also heard from good sources
and going to the meetings don't make a difference in squat
unless you have some connection to a twrc appointee from your region
that is what is going in tn deer and turkey regs
the state needs to go to a 2 buck limit
and 1 doe a day limit and do a 3 turkey limit
then things will rebound
look at what they did when ehd hit hard in 2007
not a fuggin thing
they actually expanded unit l
and in some of the hardest hit counties at that........
trwc runs the show and has control of the strings of the trwa in all reality............ I'm with that. I just wish people would only shoot what they eat. I can't eat 87 deer a year, I'm not hunting to feed the homeless, I hunt to feed me. + 1 Here, here Scott !
