[QUOTE="TboneD, post: 5873733, member: 15160"] Maybe so but a lot of folks just want to hold them and the commission’s feet to the fire when it comes to the wildlife and public lands they are entrusted to steward. Nothing against the present commissioners but the body in the past has made decisions out of purely political motivations and TWRA’s budget comes mainly from license sales as opposed to other states with income taxes. So I’m fairly convinced this is why they take such a liberal approach when it comes to seasons and limits compared to other states. I’m not saying the system is broken and needs to be replaced. And I’m not saying I don’t appreciate a lot of things they have done. For instance, I’m all for the 2 buck limit statewide. However, I can’t understand why we’re not gonna stick with a 2 tom limit statewide or why it’s legal to kill 3 does a day on so much public ground. I wonder if the former has ANYTHING to do with the possibility of collecting more TWRA revenue from a hunter that has to hunt a different area of the state for his third Tom. As for the latter I have no idea and don’t know of any other state that would send such a message outside of CWD zones. [/QUOTE]
