[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 4796184, member: 1409"] I'm personally not so worried about CWD destroying the mature buck population. It's going to reduce it. So does increasing the buck limit. So does allowing rifles during archery season. I am worried about TWRA changing the regs, and ultimately taking us back to a deer herd, and deer hunting similar to what we had in the 1980's. It's not that it was all bad, but I would choose to hunt something different (or fish), if there was only a small chance of seeing a 2 1/2-yr-old or older buck, in an entire deer season. I eat venison, and would still take out a doe or two annually for that purpose. But my former deer-hunting time would either be used deer-hunting in some other state or simply hunting something other than deer. I love to squirrel hunt. The limit is 10 a day. To me, every squirrel is a trophy squirrel. Some want to make deer hunting more like squirrel hunting. I prefer to keep them a much more different challenge, as just "any" deer is currently not much more a hunting challenge than "any" squirrel. QDM allows all deer hunters "reasonable" representation to their personal deer hunting preferences. Allowing a subset of hunters to kill too many bucks does not. [/QUOTE]
