Great deer! Congratulations!

In western KY, bordering Tennessee, hunters can kill unlimited doe! That's right, unlimited. The basic deer permit allows 4 deer (3 antlerless, 1 antlered or antlerless). The bonus deer permit allows additional 2 antlerless deer. You can buy as many bonus permits as you want. But, almost...

We certainly have considered that possibility. The KDFWR CWD plan was triggered 3 years ago, when we had our first positive case within 20 miles of the KY state border, a 3 1/2 y/o doe found in Cottage Grove, TN, in Henry County, not terribly far from my home. (I hunt in Henry County every...

The one positive case was in far northwestern KY. The elk are all in far eastern KY, so many miles away. However, elk outfitters & guides are begging the KDFWR to try to contain CWD, if possible, or at least slow it down. I'd like to help them, if I can.

KDFWR has tested over 40,000 deer & elk for CWD. So far, the only positive test was in the buck harvested in Ballard Co during this past year's modern gun season.

I am not a wildlife biologist or a biologist of any kind for that matter. I did grow up hunting & fishing & have a ton of pals who also grew up that way. Most of them have good common sense & I rely on them for advice all the time. Their advice is usually spot on. That is why I wanted to ask...

No, the herd seems to be healthy. Overpopulated in some areas. We have only had one deer positive for CWD, a 2 1/2 y/o buck that was tending a doe when he was harvested. I don't want to overreact, I'm looking for a more measured response.

My name is Robin Floyd. I have been on TNDeer over 25 years. When I joined, I lived in Martin, TN but for over 20 years I have lived in Murray, KY. I am friends with several folks on TNDeer. Heck, Ruger probably saved my life once when he helped me drag out a huge doe a quarter of a mile...

mag or -08?

I got the survey & filled it out.

I also have a H & R Ultra. It's a 20 ga, deadly accurate, simple, & a joy to carry. I gave $100 for it from a guy who was going thru a divorce & needed cash. It's a perfect slug gun for me.

The first CWD positive deer was found near Cottage Grove, about 8 miles south of the KY/TN border, in 2019. The CWD positive deer found in Henry Co. this week was about 17 miles from the KY/TN state line, quite a distance from the first.

No, I don't. As I understand it, TWRA changed to protocol that most states used & that they had originally used, from an initial test &, if positive, a second confirmatory test to just doing the initial test alone. The second, confirmatory test is to catch false positives. So, from what I...

It's my understanding that those funds haven't been released yet. The total for those funds is $70 million. By the time those funds are released, each state will likely get around $2 million each. That may sound like a lot of money, and it would be to each of us as individuals, but it's not...

I found out this morning that the deer that recently tested positive was 17 miles south of the KY/TN state line, so in southern Henry County. The first deer that tested positive was in the Cottage Grove area, about 8 miles south of the KY/TN state line. KDFWR did offer to pay for the...
