Weird how that works, skipping entire counties. Figure scavengers are playing a role in the distribution in some cases.
That worked out so well didn't it.Im gonna bet that KY will not go to s kill every buck approach like TN did
Big difference in a 1 buck limit and a limited rifle season vs over 3 solid months of earn a buck. You better pray Ky handles this better.Last year there were many days of the mandatory check stations. This year, I was told from a very reliable source that they run out of money for all of this. It was dropped down to 3 days during rifle season. The Sat, Sun, Mon of the first 3 days. The county it was killed in wasn't even in the 5 high risk counties. What an idiot to bring it over and voluntarily have it checked. Makes no sense. Hopefully Ky will be smarter than TN and not get stupid with this.
I can promise you if one I ever killed tested positive they would never get the truth of where it was killed at. No way they're setting up on my property and killing every one they see.Big difference in a 1 buck limit and a limited rifle season vs over 3 solid months of earn a buck.

My argument is very few bucks live to see there 3rd birthday anyhow. Hunting is by far the #1 cause of death to the whitetail deer. With the current unit cwd regulations most bucks aren't living to see there 2nd birthday in my neck of the woods. So whats the point. The 30/06 is far deadlier than cwd as far as I can tell.In spite of all the efforts of wildlife officials to slow the spread ( where have we heard this before) CWD has spread and will continue to spread throughout all of whitetail habitat.
Is it crazy to just let it spread so that it gets to a natural solution? Have we really slowed it down? I'm not sure. The deer will find a way to survive and the subspecies that has a natural ability to fight the disease will become dominant and replace the others.
I'm reminded of the King Canute who said that no man can hold back the tide. Are we close to a cure? If the whitetail herd is to become extinct (hopefully not) then it will be replaced by something else.

It's a carbon copy of the same thing every state has done. They either kill more deer or let it spread. It's gonna spread anyway. But they must do something so they come up with an elaborate document to justify killing more deer.Here is the plan. They are gonna do like TN they are gonna try and kill more deer the way I read it.
