[QUOTE="Woody Armor, post: 4067890, member: 16646"] Thanks for the update Mike. Really appreciate the great news! I would also like to thank the folks at the TWRA and WMA for re-evaluating the gate situation. I don't think any of us hunters relish having to ruffle the feathers of a WMA staff or the TWRA. Without having the opportunity to have a formal venue to have input into the situation there is not much left except to take it to the forums. Also a thanks to Luke Treewalker for starting this thread and getting people involved in trying to understand what was happening. I for one feel that this was a good lesson for all sides to the issue. I hesitate to say both sides as the hunters and the TWRA should be on one side to make sure that we keep carrying on the heritage and tradition of having public land available to hunt on. I feel the staff at the Cheatham WMA have learned how important public land access is too a great many hunters. Hopefully they will recognize how important it is for hunter involvement and opinion when it comes to high impact changes that will affect the WMA and hunters in the future. There can be no expectation that hunters will always have the final say, but at least there is an open dialog to address concerns and issues. It is important that everybody involved appreciates and recognizes what public land was established for in the first place and how everyone can enjoy it. As hunters we need to take something away from this as well. Public land gets way to taken for granted and that is sometimes not recognized until situations like this force us to realize the value it has for a lot of people. There is so little public land available as it is for outdoor recreation and hunting and this issue kind of brought that front and center. While there are people that abuse the land and will continue to be violators, that is no excuse for decent law abiding hunters to not keep fighting for it. Maybe my posts did tend to get a little harsh and cynical. But the importance of public hunting land not only for me, but for younger kids to come behind all of us stems from a great passion for the outdoors and making sure future generations are able to have that opportunity. Thanks again to the people involved in allowing access to CWMA for the season. It is very very much appreciated as well as everybody that posted their opinions in the forums. Now lets concentrate on huntin'!!! [/QUOTE]
