[QUOTE="DoubleRidge, post: 5783670, member: 20594"] It may be a small sample size but I'm already talking with neighbors and others in our area...the opinions I'm hearing are the majority will not participate in the slaughter of the herd...Killing all the deer to prevent CWD from killing all the deer doesn't make sense to most folks I've spoken to...and slaughtering all you can obviously doesnt stop the spread...So I'm not sure what anyone else will actually do but I know I wont participate in the eradication efforts. What we will do is eliminate four mineral sites...already have plans to fill them in and then pile several large cedar skeletons on top of each mineral site blocking access....several large cedars in the area need cutting anyway....other than that we will continue to manage the habitat for all wildlife and enjoy our time outdoors....and hey, maybe with CWD targeting a 5½ or 6½ year old buck will become a thing of the past? If so, the 3½ and 4½ year olds will become the new "most mature" bucks on the pyramid...Honestly I've seen plenty of 4½ years olds that will meet most peoples goals and standards....I could go on but Ill stop.
