what changes would you like to see in 2013 - 2014 deer season?


stop all baiting 10 days before season for everyone. its not right that a person can bait his land year around just to keep all the game on his land and he dont hunt just keeping the game to watch. let move around

 

[TNGunsmoke]

I would like to see the restriction on harvest of Albino deer removed. Won't happen, but I'd like it none the less.

 

[letsgohunting]

Be able to use shotgun w/ slugs durning bow season or allow use of bait durning bow season only. Something that will allow more deer 2b havested durning bow season.

 

[Dolan82]

I second skippy and gunsmoke. Other than that I think Twra is doing a good job.

I do not agree with using a shotgun during archery or muzzleloader. They are there own season for a reason. Just my .02

 

[cecil30-30]

I'd like to see morgan co put in unit A as always and I'd like to see twra make it illegal to feed deer altogether..No 10 day bullcrap or some dumb 250yd rule..Just illegal!!! PERIOD.

 

[muskyhunter]

give the cumberland plateau counties a BEAR SEASON

 

[dsa5455]

Maybe a one doe a day limit in Dekalb county during gun season. Neighboring counties get 3 a day. But there seems to be a lot of does running around there when I have hunted on occasions.

 

[RUGER]

Telecheck.
2 buck limit.

 

[timberjack86]

Legalize baiting or completly do away with feeding of wildlife. More does for Grundy, and extend deer season till the end of January.

 

[Howa]

I'd like to see a 2 buck limit total with only 1 buck taken during each of the three seasons, archery, ML, and gun, not to exceed 2 bucks total for the season.

 

[KPH]

I say leave good enough alone. I fuse about the baiting but that woun't change for a lot of reasons. Tenn has got one of the best deer programs. When I was a mere child there was no deer in Henry co. now look at it. Heck back then if you wanted to hunt deer most likly you went out west.

 

[SEC]

I'd like to see a 2 buck limit total with only 1 buck taken during each of the three seasons, archery, ML, and gun, not to exceed 2 bucks total for the season.

That is the best idea I have seen all night. I would also like to see about a two week break in our gun season. Everything could use a break from time to time. What few deer I have seen lately are walking around on pins and needles they know that every step could be there last. I nominate Howa for president.

it was like that for several years in east tennessee. it SUCKED!!!

 

[Swampster]

I would like to see handgun(revolver) to overlap the last week of archery and first week of muzzleloader. Probably .357mag and up with barrel length between 6" & 10".

 

[Diehard Hunter]

The real question.......how many of you will take the time to list your concerns where it really matters? The TWRC makes the rules, not TWRA. If you want a change, take it to them. These guys on here will be one voice, and the voice of underlings at that. They have to follow what the TWRC says, not vice versa. You however can be many voices to TWRC. Call them with your concerns, they will never see them here.

 

[BigGameGuy]

Don't get too worked up just yet either. The time to submit suggestions begins January 15th. All those submitted to TWRA that go through the proper submission procedure get compiled and go directly to the TFWC as part of the standard process.

 

[rem270]

Only changes id like to see is people who gripe about harvest limits and talk bad about TWRA all the time kicked in the nuts and lose there hunting privileges for a year :)

Dang im a grinch this close to christmas :D

Not pointing my opinion toward anyone on this thread just others in general over the last few yrs ive read

 

[pressfit]

Id like to see a little more effort put into the leased dove fields.. I realize its a big money maker for the twra.. the more land you have leased to more liscenses you sell.. but to lease a field, have 100 guys sit there all day long.. bake in the sun.. and only about 3 of them fire a shot.. come on.. I have seen it happen too many times..

 

[102]

I'd like to see TWRA MAKE NO CHANGES for at least TWO freakin consecutive years.

And add TELECHECK!

Also, hey, if TWRA wants more does killed, then add doe kills for the ENTIRE season in Unit A.

Quit all the from this date to that date for doe day stuff.

It is so confusing.

SIMPLIFY SIMPLIFY SIMPLIFY.

 

[BigGameGuy]

Id like to see a little more effort put into the leased dove fields.. I realize its a big money maker for the twra..

The dove field program actually costs the agency $100,000 per year. Keep in mind, we pay the landowner for leasing the field. I am sure there may be a few people who by a license only to hunt doves but I doubt that accounts for $100,000.

 

[Beekeeper]

Increase the buck limit to at least 4. This would keep more hunters in the field and could be used to increase the harvest in areas where an increase is needed.

Do away with the one buck a day rule.

 

[rem270]

Only thing i would change is to go to all online or telecheck.

Do away with the gas stations who half of them dont know what in the heck there doing.

 

[Southern Sportsman]

Be able to use shotgun w/ slugs durning bow season

So you want to do away with bow season and go straight into gun? We already allow cross bows for everybody so you don't even have to practice shooting before season or draw back on a deer, now you want to bow hunt with a shotgun?

 

[ImThere]

A buck is a buck if its got balls it counts toward you bag limit
Do away with the one buck per day

 

[muzzle]

Allow baiting or not allow baiting. It needs to be black and white no more of this you have to be 251 yds away and cant see the bait crap. 2 bucks total, cannot exceed 1 buck per weapon. More doe opportunties in Unit A and Unit B.

 

[stik]

A buck is a buck if its got balls it counts toward you bag limit

if they count as a buck, they should be legal during "buck only" hunting.

 

[SES]

I'm just thankful I get to go hunting every now and then. I don't remember ever thinking to myself in my stand while the sun starts making that eastern sky glow, "I sure wish Tennessee had a one buck limit or I wish I could shoot 2 bucks today instead of just one". Be thankful for what you got or move to another state that will meet your wants. If all you got to worry about is the bag limits, you need to fall on your knees and thank God!!

 

[BowGirl]

Last year the bucks harvested in my county was over 90% yearlings. Would like to see some help with the age structure in my county. Its frustrating to have a alot of hunting ground and little to no chance at a good buck. Thank you
