[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5744279, member: 1409"] In theory, I could agree with you. The problem is we already have far too many "laws" & regulations. Even the county wildlife officer himself struggles to keep up with them. Along with there simply already having too many "regulations", there is the issue of non-enforcement. So the end result is the honest sportsmen get punished for being honest, while the dishonest WMA users are simply rewarded for their dishonesty. In the real world we're in, there is a shortage of law-enforcement personnel, so most laws are going unenforced, especially those deemed least significant. There simply is not going to suddenly be financial funding to greatly increase the number of wildlife officers who serve as law enforcement officers. There is also not going to be this sudden prioritization of the least significant laws being enforced over higher-priority laws such as poaching, hunting out of season, hunting in areas not permitted, etc. Surely, no honest sportsman in TN wants [I]LESS[/I] enforcement of such as these? But that is what we get when we add more new unnecessary "rules". [/QUOTE]
