The TWRA is an Agency not a Bureaucracy .. In my opinion I have no problem paying any Fee that is required to fish or hunt in this fine state that has done a great job managing.




Statement from TWRA ..



The TWRA is funded by two primary sources: license/permit sales and federal excise taxes (Pittman-Robertson and Wallop-Breaux). Tennessee's allocation of these federal taxes is based in part, on the number of hunters and fishermen in the state.



The TWRA does not receive any funding from the State's general fund (i.e. state sales tax).


I agree TK, I have no problem paying what I do for the licenses. $2.75 a month for a basic fishing license. That’s less than a pack of gum. Lol
