Post subject:  URGENT: TN to outlaw hog hunting with dogs.

From what I can tell, it looks like TWRA is going to cut out all hog hunting with dogs in the state on all WMAs. This literally cuts our dog hunting opportunities in half here in East TN. They are allowing for the taking of hogs on other hunts, but not with dogs. They are also giving many more opportunity for people to take bears on deer and archery hunts. Under their new proposal, still hunters will have 32 days to kill a bear, and dog hunter will only have 22. On their website all the information is contained in a proposal. They are asking for comments and concerns. I strongly suggest that if you care about houndsmen's rights, you go to this link and say your piece. They are trying to control the hog population, but they are removing the most effective method to do so (dogs). It is pretty obvious from reading the entire proposal that deer and smallgame hunters are more than taken care of and we are being sacrificed.
