[QUOTE="casjoker, post: 4495081, member: 17057"] The original question is loaded and no one is ever happy with any decision they feel they didn't have a part in. I know I fill out some sort of survey from TWRA ever year and I also submit my thoughts to them via email regularly. Not sure it has any affect but it at least makes me feel like I have some sort of voice. Kind of like voting I guess. The buck limit, in the end, has little to no effect on hunting chances/opportunities for 99% of hunters. It's the doe limits and lack of public access. If people want to be concerned about something lets look at all the leasing and other resource hoardings that has become so prevalent in the last 20 years. $7,000-15,000 for a duck lease $5000 or more for a deer lease. Farmers (who can blame them) limiting their land to whatever guide is paying top dollar. People talk about the suburban trophy hunter being behind the 2 deer limit when you really need to worry about how that same hunter is locking up land for their private clubs. Starting to happen with fishing too. Ask around and see what's happening on the South Holston, around Bristol. A bunch of out of town lawyers are calling the IRS on local small-timers who charge a small fee ($5-10) so you can launch your boat. I have been looking at buying some land in West TN. Two different realtors have told me all the lawyers, doctors, pro athletes, and music industry people are driving the cost through the roof. $hitty swampland is over $2000 an acre because someone wants a private duck club they use 3 weekends a year. Keep worrying about shooting 2 bucks vs 3 bucks and you won't have anyplace to hunt in 10 years. [/QUOTE]
