[QUOTE="silentstalker, post: 5038978, member: 18554"] Having hunted and fished in Colorado nd California, I will affirm we have it beyond good in TN. I understand the frustrations around the duck hunting issue at only the basest level, so take this with a grain of salt, but these same things were said back when F&W and TWRA reintroduced turkey, and now I have never seen so many turkey! I grew up here when no one bothered turkey hunting because there flat were not any, and now you cant go hardly anywhere without seeing large flocks. Same thing was said about how they would manage the elk herd. Now look at what we have, and that is growing! I will agree I think the Commision and TWRA could be more consistent with wild pig hunting laws and areas, they could and should allow night hunting for varmints with proper equipment, and the lake and river fish management is a bit more of a mess than it should be, and the absence of enforcement is horrendous as far as creel limits. I also agree that lack of enforcement of bag limits is what has ruined the quail hunting here, and is really threatening dove hunting. So yes, the Commission could do a far better job in many aspects that they are in fact, responsible for, but I am willing to see how the duck program works out before completely condemning it. Everything has a learning curve, so give it a little time before throwing them under the bus. [/QUOTE]
