[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 4744574, member: 1409"] That sounds like one of the questions on the survey. How could anyone answer any way but "yes" to that? [b][color=#0000BF]My issue is I believe our detriments may come more from TWRA's proposed changes than CWD itself, just as it has in so many other states which have had CWD for many years, even decades.[/color][/b] [b][u][i]MOST[/i] of the changes are good[/u][/b], like not transporting carcasses outside the hot zone, like not importing carcasses from other states, like offering free or low-cost testing for harvested deer. [b][color=#0000FF]But the biggest single regulatory change to our future deer hunting hinges around the August Trophy Buck Hunt, which was pushed thru without any survey [i]BEFORE[/i] any CWD was found. Remember, this was pushed thru last year, with virtually no public discussion or vetting. It is now being proposed greatly expanded, imo, under the guise of dealing with CWD. Double the days, make it rifle instead of archery, make it two bonus bucks (ups the buck limit to 4). How will this effect the average deer hunter, particularly those hunting public lands?[/color][/b] Who exactly initially pushed this trophy buck hunt (in August) last year? The same factions are now wanting to expand it, little to do with CWD, but everything to do with catering to a select minority of TN's deer hunters. [b][color=#0000FF][i]MOST[/i] TN resident deer hunters have little interest in deer hunting in the summertime, especially when it becomes detrimental to their traditionally timed Fall/Winter deer hunting.[/color][/b] So, yes, I do believe the upcoming year is a critical pivot point to the future of TN's deer hunting and deer management. So was 1998. CWD is bad; but so is misleading the public about the main reasons behind the summertime deer hunting. [/QUOTE]
