Tennessee allows the use of wildlife feeders up until two weeks prior to the opening of big game seasons.
This practice needs to be banned. The use of feeders increases the likely hood of the transmission of CWP (chronic wasting disease) transmitted by the contaminated feed from feces on the ground of white tail deer. Any acclimation of wildlife to manmade feeding stations is unethical and only leads to unfavorable confrontations by man with wildlife not anticipated at the feeding stations. If a person needs to attract wildlife for the purpose of killing it, they should just raise domestic livestock. Attracting wildlife for this purpose is not hunting by any definition.
Some wildlife management areas have antler restriction. Unless these restrictions apply to both private and managed lands areas they are completely ineffective! State hunting regulations must be amended to be consistent on both private and public lands.
The discontinuance of field tagging is absurd there is literally no ability to enforce violators.
