[QUOTE="Lost Lake, post: 5385495, member: 12599"] I can tell y’all how it’s affecting my attitude toward deer hunting. I hunt in Henry county. It used to be that my friends and I would shoot what we wanted, wait til late morning, and field dress and haul our kills to the processor that we used for 20 some odd years. It was kinda fun to get the midday break truck ride and then hit the woods again. Now, anytime we shoot something, it’s full on work. Run for the coolers, start butchering, get it packed up and maybe hit the woods after butchering 4-5 deer in a morning. We’ve gotten extremely fast at it, but it’s become monotonous. We’ve all but quit evening hunting on the last day of our weekend hunts. After just a couple of years of our area being in the CWD unit, our hunts have turned into simple meat gathering trips, and we’re getting to where we dread someone pulling the trigger on does, and just hold out for a decent buck. Don’t get me wrong, I like the processing, just not the amount we’re doing. I bought a half beef this year. I doubt that I’ll hunt outside the month of November or shoot a doe in Henry. My friends feel the same. [/QUOTE]
