[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 2573701, member: 1409"] BigGameGuy, I just want to know when we're going to get a cougar season in Stewart County? Being primarily interested in hunting, guess we can easily overlook that TWRA is "mandated" by law to "manage" and/or oversee [i]ALL[/i] wildlife in the State of TN. Most of the critters are [i]NON-Game[/i] species. Add fish to "wildlife", too. Should also add that some of the wildlife-related issues and problems we experience were not caused by TWRA, just that they end up being the ones who have to deal with the problems caused by others. A good example would be the pigs that many outfitters and/or pig hunters have released to hunt across the state. And to my knowledge, TWRA has never released any bears in Big South Fork. Wasn't that the feds that did the releasing there? Many federal lands are not directly managed by TWRA, although they "may" or "may not" be involved, and may or may not consult or work together on certain issues. Big South Fork and LBL are a couple of examples where TWRA is "consulted", but these large tracts are more under a federal management. Same can be said for Ft. Campbell, National Wildlife Refuges, and National Parks. "Working on the ground", each county has a TWRA "County" Wildlife Officer who lives in the county he works. On a daily basis these County Wildlife Officers, just like others in the county, hear and see what's going in [i]THEIR[/i] county. What they observe is "input" into any decisions coming out of Nashville. Quite a bit more to it than that, but from a total perspective, few people would be as aware of "what's going on" in their county (regarding wildlife issues) as a County Wildlife Officer. [/QUOTE]
