Sorry you don't LIKE the answer.
But it was given quickly, and that's it.

But since it's been brought up, again, maybe for only the 10th time in the past year on TNdeer.com, it should be noted that a majority of Tennessee's deer hunters do not want baiting legalized for deer hunting.

Everyone doesn't like anything,
and have yet to see a baiter who liked laws against baiting.
Just how it is.

if you want to know WHY, then don;t ask scientists or professional wildlife people......most tend to have a tiny bit of politician in them...lol.

It may also be because we are tired of typing the same thing ad nauseum.

The "why" was answered already, especially in past threads. The potentially harmful effects of baiting to the resource (disease and behavior changes) and the ethics (most folks don't want it) are about as clear of a "why" answer as we can possibly give.

Most other states that do allow it are figureing it out - as CWD is spreading - baiting is becoming more and more against the law -

You're here to push your agenda. The answers have already been given by the TWRA. You just don't like the answers.

Bsk, that is absolutely ridiculous. I have no agenda other that satisfy my personal curiosity about why twra/twrc is right while others are wrong. I wanted to understand the reasoning for the difference in two states management practice. It is apparent that you have nothing worthwhile to contribute other than to pass judgment about things you have no idea about.

The answer to why baiting is illegal in Tennessee is because TWRA thinks it harms the deer herd and TWRA makes the rules.

It doesn't get much more clear then that.

But its legal to bait as long as its gone 10 days before you hunt is the law thats always confused me. If its bad then why is it legal period at anytime??? Baiting doesn't matter to me but was always confused by this logic...

. I can agree with that but that is not really what I was trying to understand. I wastrying to understand why other states and tn are different in their baiting philosophies as it relates to hunting over it. If twra is the best in the nation that is great but it still doesn't explain the methodology used to become the best. The disease spreading argument is moot or it would be illegal all the time,not just 10 days prior to season. If it is lawful to feed/bait so long as no one hunts over it and that is due to political pressure from little old ladies who want to feed then I submit that twra bows to "feeding" political pressure no differently than "baiting" political pressure in other states thereby making twra/twrc's concern not primarily about wildlife but also politics resulting in them being no "better" than any other state as it relates to feeding/baiting regulations.
