Hey Rusty you remember what the dog hunters used as a bases for trying to get the County Commission to pass a private act to ban bear hunting with archery equipment in Unicoi County was? "Curl and Inhuman" I believe they thought some of use bow hunters had never been dog hunting with 'em; I'll just leave it at that. lol I will say this, the TWRA pulled through big time in our situation, once the County Commission herd what the TWRA biologist had too say they found out real quick they were out of their league and backed off very quickly.
You got that right!
Stats and Data usually overcome false claims and rumors everytime.
Can't say enough about how the TWRA handled the situation, they didn't take sides, they just stated the facts and let the commisioners she it for what it was.

I'm with Ruger on this one. It is not so much who you know but knowing who to ask for and then knowing how to ask a polite question. It doesn;t do much good to talk a clerk-1 when you need to talk to a biologist.
Hey guys listen to bowriter TWRA personnel can not comment on all they want to. They have to watch their backs because there jobs are at stake , politics are at work now worst than at any time that I can remember.

For years some hunters opposed us bow-hunters in TN but I thought all those guys were 90 and 100 years old now. It looks like anti-archery guys still exist though.

They aren't really anti-archery, they are just anti-archery for bears. Or more accurate would be want 100% of the bears for them.
