[QUOTE="fairchaser, post: 5384142, member: 10373"] I do agree that you will not likely see that many zombie deer walking around drooling. But, that doesn’t mean CWD isn’t killing them. They are more likely to succumb to predation or end up dead on the road. The impact is the same! Hunting in the heart of CWD I’ve witnessed the impact in real time on the landscape. It’s here, it’s real and it has an impact on the herd especially the older bucks. There simply aren’t as many. I agree with LBLman that younger bucks are being killed too because of the increase in buck tags, but the older buck population was declining before the regs changed. As regards consumption of infected deer, I don’t know a single hunter on Ames that says they are eating them anyway. Even if they might eat it, they won’t bring it hone to their families. [/QUOTE]
