[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5586480, member: 1409"] Exactly, but for most QDM-type deer hunter-managers, it's even worse than you stated. That "kill them all" mentality is most heavily targeting bucks. Essentially no limit on bucks, rifles allowed during former archery seasons. Since bucks regularly roam several [U]linear[/U] miles during the rut, as well as seasonally range shift often a couple miles or more, even those few hunter-managers with thousands of contiguous acres will suffer similar losses to those with only a few acres. [U]Not to say that CWD isn't a huge blow to deer management just of and by itself[/U], since it tends to take out more 3 1/2 & older bucks vs younger deer. Maybe a part of TWRA's thinking is any buck living to 3 1/2 might otherwise just be "wasted" if a hunter doesn't kill it before it dies of CWD? But what may ultimate be even worse is the [U]regional[/U] blow to the future of deer hunting and the ideals of quality deer management? Many the avid deer hunters may just go to other states (or other counties) to deer hunt? [/QUOTE]
