How does a depredation tag bypass ALL TWRA Regulation and state laws?

[PollackInWTN]

I live in Weakley County, I have , recently, became aware of 1 individual who claims his " depredation " tag allows him to "hunt" from a vehicle with a suppressed rifle with night vision from the road . Not confined to any single property. Heclaims to have killed 90 deer in one night from the road way. As I understand it , the sheriff's department was called and they refused to press the matter. Can anyone please help this makes sense?

I can be very wrong but I do not think much of any of that is correct. The way I understand depredation permits is that they are property specific. And you still cannot shoot from any public roadway.

I don't know anything about hunting at night. The use of a suppressor is perfectly legal even during normal hunting seasons.

Long story short, he is full of crap and if he is doing that he is breaking the law.

I wouldn't expect the sheriff's department to do much more than refer this to the TWRA. Have you contacted them?

Yes , they act like they dint understand what is being said.

Suppressor, yes. Night vision from the roadway on private property not so much.

He is , but TWRA is looking off in the other direction and completely ignoring it.

They too busy creating opportunities.

Have you reached out to TWRA concerning that, or just complaining on here?

 

[DaveTN]

Yes , they act like they dint understand what is being said.

If the TWRA didn't understand it, I doubt anyone would.

It is my understanding that depredation only applies to a person's property. But I don't know that for sure, or for all circumstances.

Reached out , to TWRA in Jackson, Memphis and Nashville. I have also reached out to some independent journalists and the state head of hunters for the hungry.

I understand nuisance tags for farmers. I understand depredation tags for predators. I don't understand how either , or , allows for complete disregard to all hunting regulations.

He is convinced he has the States permission

He is convinced he has the States permission

He may believe that. If they write him a ticket he can have that conversation with the Judge.

If you have reached out to 3 TWRA offices in Jackson, Memphis and Nashville and they don't understand what you are saying, I would only ask if you were speaking English? Because I think all of us here are clear on what you are saying, whether we know the law or not.

All of the above in the law enforcement side work for Col. Darren Rider in the Nashville office. I would try to have a conversation with Darren.

No ticket , now warning just packed up and left.
My understanding of this situation is this , He and others like him are being sponsored by auto insurance carriers. That is why law enforcement looks the other way. Even then it don't make it right. I have seen people ticketed for corn on adjoining properties , they had no clue of . Still had to appear in court and were fined.
