     Hmmmm...the biggest reason I think the county takes care of at least 
some of our state parks is several years ago the county kept having problems 
at one of our local state parks and there was a really large crowd on hand, 
anyway the county officers had responded to the original call for backup from

 JG> not even notified of deer struck by autos on the roadway anymore...
 BB> Nor would they be.  That would come under TWRA, 
 BB> Tennessee Wildlife Resource
 BB> Agency.  They most often tell the locals to fill out a 
 BB> form, and handle it.
     Welll...duhhhh..., I must've 
been half asleep when that was written...  :)
