Sounds like alot of deer slaughtered unnecessarily
Good ole TWRA…

I could see that happening. I just find it strange that he accuses them of only having cwd data in only 2 counties instead of 16. Don't get me wrong, I love a good conspiracy theory but this could also be an example of lovers scorned.

Should be a board that oversees the TWRA. Consisting of actual outdoorsmen. Its become such a useless organization with too much power.

I think the TWRA should be picked through with a fine tooth comb and all the corruption would come to light!!!

Great idea. Only licensed people can vote.
That's what I meant, should've been more clear.

There is such a board in a way… kinda
Called the TWRC
They just happen to be the Governor's rich buddies who couldn't care less what you the common man thinks.
And Tennessee isn't alone with that set up. Alabama is worse

Don't be so quick to jump on TWRA until EVERYTHING comes out.
ELISA testing is pretty dang accurate. They may have had a few false positives that the second round of confirmation testing could have rectified, but its VERY unlikely that they had mass false positives. If they did somehow manage to get mass false positives, something sinister probably did go on. But as someone who knows a bit about state agency work and CWD testing, I'm not convinced much out of the ordinary has happened. However I will say that I know of other state agencies that won't even release news about positives UNTIL they get their second round of testing results back. A round of testing that TWRA was skipping. So they did shortcut that at least.

Naw, they are guilty until proven innocent.
Just like they treat us.

That is not what he is claiming. He is saying once the better tests were done on all of the positives the govt officials released, they turned out to be negatives because they used the cheaper, more inaccurate tests the first time around. His theory is if they used the more expensive and more accurate tests, there would only be 2 CWD counties in TN.

Seriously though, it never made sense to me from the word go.

Hmm all about money. Those lifetime license are breaking twra. I would say good riddance but I don't know what will replace it. Could be worse. I personally have nothing against twra just always knew they were driven by the all mighty dollar when the stupidness of 4 gobblers a year to sell license to out of state hunters happened.
Also I will say I know some great twra employees. I just think their bosses won't listen to them.

I'm convinced that most all of the uppers in the agency are educated beyond their intelligence.
