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!!!!
