Super sad what has happened to this agency in the last decade. Should just gut it and start over with voter elected officials

Hmmm.. so it was "all about the money" after all. CWD controlling efforts brought in a lot of "government money" to state wildlife agencies.
Seems I remember stating this a few years ago and was harassed, threatened and mocked for my comments, even though what I stated has since been proven true.

That's when you know you are over the target.

Like I said in the other thread, I just can't see any way where confiscating the man's devices didn't make this look really bad. Unless they have something to hide, they wouldn't have taken the devices. Looks really bad on the part of those managing cwd right now.

Well then

Maybe Tennessee deer aren't the exception they make them out to be

Need some judge to strike all these silly rules.

Get ready for a increase in the cost of your license.

So if the biologist wins the case, what does it mean for the CWD regulations? Will they have to be reformed? Or is the just getting his job back? What exactly is the damages being sued for?

I would tend to think he would not want his job back, likely would make for a tense or even hostile environment. Maybe getting back any benefits he had that may have been lost with getting fired. Probably most importantly getting the truth out and clearing his name. Just guess on my part.

Probably have to be changes to all those cwd positive counties that really aren't. Maybe I get to go back to using minerals.

Never "Voter" elected,
Maybe Hunter elected but non hunters do NOT fund them so the arfs have no say!

Interesting that a suit has been filed and already we have judge, jury and executioner before anything is proven!
Not taking sides here but if y'all are so ready to convict at least make it a DC democrat!
Let's see this play out…

Cold hard cash of course, that would make it all OK.

Not for me. I bought the lifetime the first year they came out! Best $1000 I ever spent.
