[QUOTE="Hunter 257W, post: 4745136, member: 12277"] I got a survey by email and completed it. For the most part I think it was a good survey with one exception. Several of the questions asked how different potential changes to the regulations would affect my hunting. Since I don't hunt in the counties that have been found to have CWD I answered that most of the changes will have no impact to my hunting. I would answer quite a bit different if I hunted in those counties. Since they are claiming that older bucks are most likely to have the disease and spread it, it seems logical to target those animals in the harvest. If killing a bunch of bucks in the August hunt will accomplish that so be it. Personally I don't think they will get the kill numbers they are wanting with the August hunt though - the heat is too bad to get numbers anything like the traditional Rifle Opening weekend. I do think it's a good idea to offer the "refund bucks" that don't count towards your limit if you kill a buck that tests positive with CWD. These are hard times for deer hunters and there's not going to be an easy fix from what I can see with this disease. [/QUOTE]
