I would have to know more about it - are they shortening it because they are meeting their harvest goals on the animial and need to in order to keep the beer viable as a game animial ? or for some political BS reason ???

With out knowing all the specifics, as I understand it, the dog hunters are pushing the reduction... they are claiming that archery equipment isn't effective or humane enough to hunt bears with...

Just more hunters bashing hunters, which will be the end all for hunting one day anyway. If we dont learn to stick together, we WILL be torn apart! Just look at the nonsense post already made here by one!

Why take it to a personal level? Don't recall attacking you in my post, oh wait a minute I can read my post above, and yep no personal attacks. Just a simple opinion.
If TWRA is wishing to shorten the season then they must have a reason to do so, the majority of their decisions seem to have a pretty solid scientific reasoning behind them.
Last I checked this was a deer hunting forum specifically, if you want to talk about killing bears there is a forum for that as well.

Then read the article in this link posted and give me your simple opinion on if you think the change is being innitiated by twra for solid scientific reasoning or not....

You are correct,...but just the implications of the weapon type (archery) not being an effective or humane hunting method to the main legislative body of our hunting sport should be a concern to all hunters...but particularly for anyone that archery hunts (anything) at all...
maybe you just simply haven't formed your opinion on that yet... 
..or as you say, maybe you could care less....

Well I hadn't seen that article, but after reading that I sent my e-mails to those who needed them. That is total BS. I was assuming it was a TWRA biologist who was wishing for the shortening of the season, not some crooked politician who based on those comments has no business being on the commission in the first place. How did we get a bunch of non-hunters on the commission? Oh that's right, it is a twisted nightmare and basically corrupt.
As I have said before and will stand behind this state would be a lot better off if we dumped the corrupt commissioners on their head.
Sorry for my earlier uninformed comments, I didn't realize the reasoning behind the season change.

I should of thought when I posted the thread to have included the article from hodge...I guess I just took it for granted that most folks read the twra forum pretty heavily....sorry, my mistake...
http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2010/may/23/twrc-wise-to-reconsider-season-cut/
To me the issue really is as much about the how and why the decision is being made as anything else...
