I do constantly sir . I try to be respectful and hold you in high regard brother, you can be sternful but to stoop to name calling IMO is beneath your character. I understand you have some sort of loyalty to your former employer but they are not perfect and for you to disagree with me or others is completely ok but to get respect you need to give it !
I have zero concern anymore about respect. It is either there or not, and doesn't change my life in any way.
I'm not offended but try to give respect where it's due and sir in your case it's not due anymore !! Others complained about how TWRA set up certain things but you said nothing to them but one things certain you get in your pants the same way I do . And I'm not a cry baby to ignore someone such as yourself I can take as much as I dish out . And for the record it wasn't what you said it's how you said it brother and I tried to make that clear but you just couldn't get it , I guess you was offened by your responses !!
I didn't respond to the others because they were voicing their opinions of the new regs in a respectable way.
Twra is not funded like most agencies. They are largely funded by licenses and permits purchased by us. I assume they get some federal money/grants and know they also get money from timber sales on public land.
For you to say they don't do underhanded stuff then sir your mistaken . Had two officers way before my citation come on our lease in Giles Co. ruining our hunt trampled around without orange at all on !! Want to know why ? Because they had a lease beyond ours and seen someone trespassing so they just thought it was us so they just blantly came onto the lease instead of waiting for us to come out . Of course they seen it wasn't us but offered no apology !! Started checking licenses and questioning how long we had been hunting there and who owned the property which was none of their business which I said you know who owns it ! I even commented about going into thick property without a shred of orange on ! This is something only an idiot would do to try and catch someone trespassin . So sir no one is perfect and I can understand you getting frustrated at me for keeping on asking questions which could be somewhat justified but your name calling is totally distasteful.
There was no spin needed on my part. For someone to read what I wrote about the revenue stream from a citation and come up with even a hint of me saying an officer shouldn't do his/her job and write citations shows an absolutely ASTOUNDING lack of intelligence.
some areas need it, but most of them are not legal for firearms. got rural areas near here where you'll see dozens of deer...in folks yards, parks, subdivisions etc.
Holston Defense got whacked pretty good as well. they shot the snot out of does for a couple years running, then EHD hit and really wreaked havoc on their herd. used to see ten or twenty deer nearly every day when driving past, no longer. now it's an event to see a single deer going by...
There is real truth to this.
cwd has been around tn way longer than twra got federal money to look for it!
TWRA was looking for it long before there was any federal funding involved.
I've not heard one.
