Tennessee getting tough on Poachers:

[catjuggin]

Just saw this about new restitution for poachers for each animal killed illegally.

Let's hope judges will enforce the law.

What is an "Antlered wild turkey" ? emoScratch Jmax

 

[stratos24/7]

Hahaha I would run if I saw an eight point antlered turkey in the woods.

Hip hip hooray!!! TWRA's stock price just went up. I'm going to ride the country side replacing posted signs with copies of that article.

This should make a poacher think twice !

 

[niteowl]

Just wondering if the antlered turkey has to have a beard or not? I dont want to get in trouble if one of the elusive 8 pt turkeys come by me and I shoot it.

I am more concerned about this wild turkey bear. Or maybe It is actually a wild antlered turkey bear.

I e-mailed TWRA about the "antlered wild turkey" error Jmax. emoBang

Chattanoogan just "cuts & pastes" whatever comes through the Inbox. Here's my more accurate, easier to read version: http://bit.ly/1QwbRkq

those are some big fines!

Maybe this will slow some of them down.

 

[jake22]

They MIGHT think twice before they shoot something illegal with this.

 

[UTFISHING]

It's probably the cousin to the white-railed deer????? So many errors in their "cut and paste". Go figure, people who have never spent any time in the turkey or deer woods.

Maybe they will put some of that extra money toward the licence cost for residents and stop punishing us for buying a licence in our home state. I have tried to figure out over the years why Tn has the highest cost for sportsman license of any state around us and twice as much as some.
