Yea thats my point exactly if they can take one privlige away they are sure to take more. Deer are responsible for thousands of vehicle accidents resulting in millions of dollars paid out by insurance companies each year and they even cause human casualties. Seems to me the insurance companies have the have the same right to want deer eradicated from Tn. to save them money and the lives of people harmed in these accidents. If we don't stick together now we may be all sitting at home watching tv in the fall instead of enjoying the outdoors.

got me thinking a bit.

At which point do you draw the line between eradicating all animals that cause harm or damage to us, and letting the animals go because they have a right to their habitat too? We can't just go kill everything that gets in our way, yet we also can't just let them completely reign and eat all our crops, overrun our roads, etc.

I hope the TWRC/TWRA has some common sense in this area. We do have a right to hunt the animals, especially if they are causing damage in my opinion.

It all has to do with hogs falling under a non native species classification, therefore removing them from any effort to provide a sustainable type game managment practice for them as far as sport hunting is concerned. THAT is where the line has been drawn.

That makes sense, their being non-native and all. I still say open them to all types of taking by anybody... trapping, shooting, you name it, by any hunters and not just landowners or state personnel or exterminators.
