I agree. But, one thing they need to consider is revenue created by both resident and  nr license sales LONG TERM. Long term sales and revenue is going to suffer greatly if they don't start listening to advice and MANAGE THE RESOURCE. Deer hunting is suffering, fishing is suffering due to asian carp, and turkey populations are suffering and there is no arguing it. People will not buy nr license when the resources suck. I know many avid resident deer hunters who have quit due to cwd. Fewer hunting and fishing oportunities will mean fewer jobs for twra. In the grand scheme of things the twrc and twra could care less what the hunters of Tennessee have to say about any season, deer or turkey, when they ask for our recommendations and that needs to change.
