[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5665738, member: 1409"] [B]Very few hunters wanted it, even fewer now "participate".[/B] It helps illegal hunters kill a buck far more than legal hunters. This is in large part because most legal hunters don't participate, and such a high percentage of the velvet bucks are taken illegally. Yep. In the CWD zone it's not just hunting illegally over corn piles with a bow. It's hunting from the roads with rifles when bucks are more frequently just out feeding in fields (very unlike during the rut). Yes, I know many hunters do it legally, by the book. But the illegal "harvests" are jaw-dropping as a percentage of what gets killed, and perhaps as a percentage of the hunters afield. And the illegal poaching aspect of the "velvet" hunt is only getting worse. [/QUOTE]
