[QUOTE="JJ3, post: 5820866, member: 7325"] That is exactly what Director McBride said in the meeting — hunters will only kill so many, only have room for a given quantity of meat, only certain bucks meet their criteria, etc. They may have given more opportunities and incentives, but hunters are not killing any more (on a per hunter basis) than the 5 years before CWD. I know that is the case for us to. We haven’t really changed what we kill. But with rifle having opened after first juvy weekend, we just have a longer period to hunt. Between my daughter and I we killed 5 bucks this year, plus one doe. The bucks were 2 that were 4.5+, 2 that were 3.5, and one 2.5. We averaged 16 hunts (a morning or afternoon) per buck. One buck we tossed for positive CWD result, one buck I processed and gave to my landowners sons family, one I gave half to my neighbor. So that’s 3.5 deer in the freezer. I’ve got no more room.
