[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5788424, member: 1409"] This is how we're trending, although more blame properly belong to TWRA (than TN's hunters) for several reasons, including fear-mongering CWD, pushing deer processors out of business, and coming up with new CWD regs that negate quality deer management. Add to this TWRA's expanding (protected) bear populations into new TN counties, with these bear having a secondary purpose of replacing sport deer hunters (to reducing the deer population). Some even want to re-introduce cougars, even though the sub-species once native to TN is extinct. This is all happening when most deer hunters are more into quality over quantity. Next, anti-hunters will be using the need for government sharp-shooters as additional proof cruel "sport" deer hunting should be done away with in the United States. They may or may not succeed with this, but you can be assured, the opportunities for traditional deer hunting will be greatly reduced on public lands. Take a look at LBL right now. Deer hunting has already taken a back seat to other forms of "recreation", as there are currently only two weekends of gun deer hunting annually (with many areas not allowed for gun deer hunting). Go to the Catoosa WMA, try to deer hunt. You will be over-run by ATVs, never mind many of those claiming to be deer hunters, are actually more interested in ATV recreation than deer hunting. Just a matter of time until we see similar at places such as Natchez Trace WMA, and many other WMAs, simply because most people do not hunt, and more people do want to do other types of outdoor recreation (without being afraid of being shot by hunters). [I]AND, [/I]hunters will be portrayed as being ineffective at controlling deer populations. So,[I] "somebody, somebody, do something"![/I] The government will step in with "sharp-shooters", as is already being done in many places. [/QUOTE]
