The odds of contracting CJD from an infected deer are incredibly low. There are so many other ways to die. More hunters have died from falling out of a tree or from dragging a deer out of the woods. Not to mention hitting a deer on the road. Yet we continue to hunt, climb trees and drive to the...

This would be incredibly bad news for deer hunters if it’s proven to be related. Only a small percentage of people who consumed mad cows developed CJD but it was enough to create a problem. Let’s just hope and pray these two were unlucky coincidences.

The masters is special! I don’t watch golf but I will watch The Masters. The place is so spectacularly pretty. I’ve played enough to appreciate how well pros can play. But, I don’t have a dog in the hunt.

I’m sure it’s worth it but my how boats have gone up in price. I’d shudder to think what a 90 hp Yamaha outboard would run.

Welcome to TNdeer! There’s a ton of public land to hunt in TN unlike Texas if you don’t find a lease.

Agree and when I said “they” I meant both the commission and the TWRA. If the commission is going to disregard the recommendations of the TWRA, then they sb replaced. They can have and should have their opinions. But, disagree and disregard are two different things.
