[QUOTE="MidTennFisher, post: 5830540, member: 11842"] Sounds like even more reason to not kill an entire deer herd in bigger numbers than CWD could, then. Too many states have been dealing with this for too long, despite doing these extended rifle seasons with liberal limits, to convince me that it does much good. Those states still have CWD and it still shows up in new areas. Who is to say it kills deer at all? I'm told it does, but where is the evidence? Where are all the deer that were, beyond a shadow of any doubt, dead purely because they contracted CWD? Are so many dying that we really need these extreme measures? Mostly I just see articles saying that it kills deer, but there is no evidence other than a "trust the science" kind of feel. Where have I heard that one before? I did some Google searches and was able to find 2 accounts of a hunter watching a deer drop dead for no reason. It was tested and CWD positive. Sorry but that doesn't quite justify attempting to kill off every deer in West TN. A lot of this stuff reminds me of Covid. I don't buy into the idea that it's a complete hoax but I do believe it is greatly exaggerated. Once you realize there is Federal funding involved things get even more suspect. Just like Covid.
