CWD STATES ?

[Cazador]

Last year TN put Ohio on the list for states that they don't want bones coming from. If I recall it was due to a deer in a breeding/ fenced area that tested positive. What I read while I was in Ohio. They are testing the deer in the surrounding counties to see if there was any spread.
What are the chances that the restriction will be removed? As far as I know it was only one case in a secured area. Does anyone know if there were more cases found?

Ohio is still actively monitoring CWD and has a designated Disease Surveillance Area (portions of Holmes and Wayne counties) through 2018 (I think it's 2018). I would assume the chance of TN removing Ohio from the restricted list this season would be close to zero.

I am just wondering if they ever will.
I can understand if they banned deer from the surrounding counties. But the ban on the whole state is a little overkill. IMO. There is a lot of lost revenue because of their ban.

What revenue is lost? Deer processing fees perhaps? A hunter can still use the taxidermist of their choice, but the have to first prepare the deer properly. And FYI, KY has the same blanket restriction on Ohio, so you could potentially be charged in 2 states if you brought a deer from a CWD state back to TN whole.

Are you able to remove the hide off a deer skull for a quality mount? I don't know of many people that are. Especially in the field after a kill.

Yeah pretty easy process. Thousands of Western hunters do it every year.

My 2016 Ohio mount I caped out myself laying on the ground.

If you plan to hunt out of state and bringing deer back to TN is a possibility, then it's the hunters obligation to have the knowledge and ability to properly transport it back to TN per regs. I'm all for the regs. However there are still some hunters bringing elk, and deer back to TN that would be in violation

SMH. I have no problems with regulations. I abide by them. I am saying that it is STOOOPID. ONE deer on a breeding farm will potentially keep an entire state on a restricted list forever. Comprende?
I spend most of my deer hunting time in Ohio. I have no problem spending my processing and taxidermy money there. I would prefer to spend it with people that are in the business here in TN.
