[QUOTE="JArender, post: 5210820, member: 15782"] Ive been an avid deer hunter for more years than I can remember anymore. This whole cwd mess is about to push me out of deer hunting. Back in December a neighbor approached me and made a to good not to sale offer on my TN farm. When looking for a new place I ended up in KY( a state i’ve leased and hunted in a good bit). I bought with CWD on my mind. I looked hard in TN and every time I thought I found a place it ended up being a county next to CWD counties or in cwd counties and I let it drive me away. I don’t think for one second that CWD meat will affect me in anyway! But I do unfortunately think it will have a impact on the sellabilty of my farm should it become part of the area in KY that is now being tested. Being a cancer patient sellablity is something i considered for my family’s benefit should either of my cancers progress. If I was alive and healthy and my farm was found to be in a CWD zone i would just hunt and not change anything on the farm regardless of cwd but due to that fact of worrying about being able to dump it, as its biggest value is hunting, it’s hard for me to enjoy it wondering if ky will have the same kill them all mindset. There is zero doubt they will find a case or several in the new SZ of ky that happened as a result of the doe positive in henry county and that in the next year or two my county will likely be in the new SZ area, maybe not but very likely. Im just not sure deer hunting is worth it anymore in the aspect that I enjoy and the way I think. That is if states continue to have the kill to test and eradicate mindset. I enjoy food plots and everything to make the habitat better and processing my own deer and taxidermy of my own deer but the day im in a cwd zone is likely the day im done hunting whitetail deer especially the way I love doing it now.
