[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5383654, member: 1409"] The problem is not so much the CWD as it is the regulatory changes that have been made in TN in the CWD counties. Whether CWD is an issue or not, when the buck limit is dramatically increased, when centerfire rifles are suddenly allowed during what has long-term been an "archery" season segment, when a "trophy" velvet hunt (also with centerfire rifles, not archery) is added in August, when the season's end gets extended . . . . . we suddenly see a huge increase in the buck harvest among the hunters? For before mentioned reasons, the hunters are not going to kill many female deer (even although legal). [U][B]But with the TWRA's CWD regs[/B][/U][B], [U]war has been declared on bucks[/U].[/B] After a couple years, [U][B]you're simply not going to see many bucks living to 3 1/2 or older with these kind of harvest regs[/B][/U] in these TN counties. Again, this is due to regulations more than CWD. The extreme regulatory reactions to CWD [B]in TN[/B] seem remarkably similar to the federal government's extreme regulatory edicts with covid in 2020-2021? [/QUOTE]
