The Tennessee General Assembly is back in session, and our system of wildlife management is under attack. A small number of House members are working hard to politicize wildlife management by abolishing the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Commission and replacing it with an individual commissioner or weakening it through restructuring. The Commission plays a vital role in Tennessee fish and wildlife management from approving the TWRA's budget to the setting hunting and fishing seasons and bag limits based on the biological recommendations of the TWRA.
