[QUOTE="exarcherman, post: 5664373, member: 23131"] I remember back in the early 80's Northern deer/bucks were brought down, had the antlers sawed off & released into Chuck Swan wma (now called chuck swan state forest) How is hunting there now?? (i haven't been since late 80's there) I watched deer check one evening & a 48lb dressed doe was heaviest!! (more than 50 checked in while i watched) Leases were actually "not really common" unlike today. where most land is part of some lease?/ . Incidently, i took my first deer in 1976, & that yr a little over 150 deer were taken in hawkins county,,, more than 2000/yr are taken now,, last few yrs anyway. I guess the main reason cwd is around is the population density,,, & of all things a "protein" causes the dz.. (prion) I'm sure i got photos of a couple last yr that had it.. or they were still starving post winter in June/July.. In the past i thought i was helping em by feeding after season & through winter. They always quit feeding soon as everything got good & green here. Anyway, i'm hesitant to feed & put out a "rock" this yr.... sorry for rambling thoughts.... [/QUOTE]
