There is someone on the chattanooga Craigslist wanted section that has an ad for buying wild game. I'm thinking it isn't legal for an individual to sell wild game. Is this correct?

As far as I know, yes it's against the law.
From the Rule on the Commercial Use of Wildlife:
4) Meat and Meat Products That May Be Bought and Sold
(a) The meat of non-native wildlife (except fish) that are commercially raised. Records
must be maintained by buyer showing species, origin of shipment, and processor.
(b) The meat of legally obtained non-native fish, reptiles, mollusks, commercially raised
striped bass (Morone saxatilis) X white bass (Morone chrysops) hybrid, and
commercially raised trout.
(c) The meat of native wildlife (except fish) as provided by statute or proclamation. The
sale of the carcass of groundhog is permitted.
(d) The meat of native fish and turtle species may be bought or sold as provided by statute
or proclamation.
(e) The meat of legally taken crustaceans (crayfish, lobster, etc.).
(f) The meat and meat products of legally taken furbearers (native or non-native).
