[QUOTE="hammer33, post: 5787297, member: 19900"] Has it really faded or are the hardcore big buck chasers the ones that are discouraged and fading? As BSK has said numerous times before..... any specific group of hunters make a poor general sample. (Tndeer for example) To get quality data you have to sample across all groups of hunters. Hunter observation is also one of the most unreliable sources of data. So I guess I am questioning... Are there fewer big trophy bucks because of CWD ? If so, how much has it affected the herd? OR Is it a convenient excuse for a bad season or two? OR has management practices changed dramatically and now "everyone is killing all the bucks"? How much of these feelings are purely psychological? Perhaps its a combination of all the factors? Regardless I am not optimistic that the Government powers will do what is Best for hunters in general. I think they will do what is best for their donors and cronies first, then weigh that against what is best for hunters and the deer herd. Yes. I am cynical. [/QUOTE]
