[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5821070, member: 1409"] I think the number of deer hunters in TN (and other states) may be rapidly declining more than what most people are thinking. And it's not just the number of people who deer hunt, but how intensely they deer hunt, and how many days annually they deer hunt. CWD regs and fear-mongering about CWD have been catalysts in driving people away from deer hunting and eating venison. In the past few years, perhaps no where in the U.S. has this happened to the extent it has in West TN. My take is the West TN harvest numbers are what they are in part because of fewer deer hunters and the remaining deer hunters just not hunting as much, not hunting as hard, compared to times past. In the case of West TN, much deer hunting as been replaced with other activities, such as waterfowl hunting, hunting/fishing vacations to other states, but also non-hunting and non-fishing activities.
