wtnhunt Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 They have now made it legal in TN to shoot game from a motorized vehicle, so long as it is not able to be licensed for highway usage. They changed the centerfire rifle from a minimum of .24 to now be that ANY centerfire rifle is legal . Just dont understand what whoever is responsible for making these types of changes is thinking .

Guest ILclimber Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 Re: cannot believe the new TN regs That is unbelievable! I feel sorry for those TN deer cause that's just another advantage for the hunter.... or disadvantage should I say. Now some hunters are probably just going to cruise the roads instead of hunting in the wild like they should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan_Til_I_Die Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 Re: cannot believe the new TN regs Both of those have been legal in Texas for many years and we've got the largest deer herd in the U.S. It all comes down to hunter attitudes. It's still not legal to shoot from a public road, so your "road hunters" (i.e. poachers) haven't really gained anything and the 22 caliber centerfires will most likely be used either by kids, hopefully under close adult supervision, or by adults who are expert shots. I use a 220 Swift with the proper bullets to take my does every year and it's more than adequate. Bottom line is that you probably won't see much, if any, impact from those changes.

[/ QUOTE ] Hope you are right about that, but am concerned that this will just lead way to more of what around here seems to already be heading in the wrong direction. More wounded deer, more people with ignorance not understanding the laws, more excuses for poachers to try and push it. The deer herd in this particular area has had a very sharp decline over the past 3 years. Hope it does not continue on the way it has.

craig mack Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 Re: cannot believe the new TN regs For people hunting on public ground that is going to be terrible and dangerous. I hope they dont try nothing like that in Michigan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tennswamper Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 Re: cannot believe the new TN regs All that law has done is basically made hunting off your ATV legal. That's it. The centerfire rule has been that way in AL for many years and as you can see, we don't have any less deer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toddyboman Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Re: cannot believe the new TN regs Your DNR probably just wants more deer to e shoot. There is to many so they have to make it "easier" to kill more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
