If this needs to be addressed elsewhere, please advise. i have a number of questions, based on the new regulations for the CWD Zone:
1) The commission approved the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency's recommendation to establish a new CWD deer hunting unit for the counties in which we have found CWD-positive deer (Fayette, Hardeman, and Madison) and counties within 10 miles of a positive CWD deer location (Chester, Haywood, McNairy, Shelby and Tipton).
So are Chester, Haywood, McNair, Shelby, and Tipton additional counties to the CWD Zone?
2) Earn-A-Buck Program – Hunters are entitled to additional antlered deer through a new "Earn-a-buck Program" in Unit CWD. A buck may be earned by harvesting two (2) antlerless deer in Unit CWD and submitting both for CWD testing. This may be done twice for a total of 2 earned bucks to be harvested in Unit CWD during the 2019-2020 season.
Am I to understand this to mean that a total of (4) antlered bucks is allowed within the CWD zone? Shoot 2 bucks....tag out. Shoot 2 does, earn a buck, shoot Buck #3. Shoot two more does, earn a buck, shoot Buck # 4. So I've shot two bucks, two does, and two additional bucks?
3) Replacement Bucks – Unit CWD hunters are entitled to replacement bucks if they harvest a CWD-positive buck and the lab result in confirmed by TWRA.
Theoretically speaking, can I keep shooting bucks if the one previous tested positive?
Sorry for the long post, but this one is a big shake up
