I agree with the deer season that two weeks is the main rut here why should rifle hunters miss it?

The shorter season will help reduce the usual stress.

X2!!!!! There are too many problems with all of this change. To begin with, whether the upper heads within the TWRA wants to acknowledge this or, not-I know several game wardens and they are very concerned with the fact that deer WILL BE shot across the state by "turkey" hunters during the fall season with shotguns. Plus all of the blasting, by every firearm will reduce hunter opportunity as the older deer are pushed nocturnal alot earlier than normal and that will leave younger deer to get shot. Not to mention that I don't like the fact that the TWRA is assuming that the majority of Tennessee hunters aren't intelligent enough to read a calender--alot of us are as, if not more, educated asfun they are! What they should have done is to modify the gun opening/closing of the SW Tennessee counties, as it was they that complained enough to get it changed so they could hunt their rut in December with a gun! Finally, we are losing 8-12 days of hunting days and that is what really has me upset!!!!

Now deer will be hunted with a firearm for 8 weeks straight. That is ridiculous. I am glad it closes jan 1st. That will help get the deer hunters off farms I. Coyote hunt earlier. I wish they would leave a 2 week no hunting gap in mid december and close it jan 1.it will definitely help small game hunters and that is a plus.

It is the same number of days of the fall shotgun turkey hunt during an archery only deer season as it was in 2009,2010, etc.
It hasn't been a problem to this point, so it is hard to see why it is a problem now.

I dont get on here much anymore and probably catch some flack for my comment but here goes.
I for 1 am glad for the change . I am in west TN and to pay 1600 plus to hunt and have to bowhunt only during the time the rut is taking place kinda singed my feathers a bit . I love bowhunting but having the size restrictions in place during the rut adds up to about 1% chance of a still shot.
I will go take my Geritol now

I like the change. After gun season opened I never went back to a bow.
