Regulations are science-based as part of sound wildlife management practices and have nothing to do with money, etc. Following your attempt at logic, what if the state increased limits when the populations didn't justify doing so? That would result in poor hunting in the long term which by your line of thinking would by a financial disaster. Think.

It is all about money and the pursuit of. The revenue generated from selling additional hunting licenses, fees for processing, taxidermy costs, firearm sales, etc., etc. either directly or indirectly trickle back to the source of such laws. There is no doubt that money is the driving force behind all TPWD decisions. Whitetail deer population surveys, sure let me guess, they are based on random surveys of hunters willing to openly disclose what was harvested on public land. Private land owners, on the other hand, regardless of what their deer population are, are forced to choke down such laws. It is nice to see that big business has now completely taken over the wildlife in Texas, as well. Pathetic TPWD!
