[QUOTE="Grnwing, post: 4744990, member: 14910"] My farm is in the hotzone and from what I understand the TWRA is trying to contain the spread. Increased doe harvest would help reduce the deer densities, but how much more liberal can you get than 3/day for the entire deer season and then allowing additional anterless hunt at the end of the season in Unit L. Bucks are the ones that will travel many miles during the rut, wondering outside those CWD zones and pose additional threat of spreading to new areas. I do not advocate for killing all the deer/bucks, Wisconsin did this and failed miserably. The proposed August hunt would provide additional opportunity for all deer hunters(resident and non resident) to get a shot at a velvet buck and help reduce the buck population. Killing the bucks early in August, would prevent the possibility of those bucks wondering into non-CWD areas. Again, we only have to go back to the three buck limit days to see how many folks actually shot 3 bucks in a season, and i would think that even fewer will kill 4 or more bucks under the proposed regulation changes. I'll hunt it and keep my buck standards at 3.5YO or >125". Some years that meant I shot 3 bucks(under the old regs) and other years, like last, I only killed one. The thing that concerns me most, is that folks will most likely reduce their standards in the CWD zone. [/QUOTE]
