[QUOTE="TboneD, post: 5858944, member: 15160"] Saw a serious hunter at church this morning who’s a very nice guy I highly respect. Asked him if he heard about the bill and he hadn’t but was in favor of it for two reasons. The states to our north and to our south do, so why not? Then he said that given the poor ground on his place (Wilson County) he couldn’t grow big deer without feeding them. I didn’t have time to say anything other than to tell him that overall, feeding deer is harmful to the wildlife and mentioned there could even be a connection between deer corn and the decline of quail and turkey. I also didn’t have time to tell him God made whitetails to be browsers, and that if they lived long enough they could get bigger than you’d think, even on poor ground. This young man is a true sportsman and I’m sure his hunting ethic is as high as mine or anybody else. So in reflection after talking to him I think the answer to keep our great state from going the way of the other states is through EDUCATION. But who’s gonna do it? The TWRA? Well they haven’t yet! I guess I would hope there’s been some change of thinking by some that truly read this thread. [/QUOTE]
