So Just going to throw this out here again. I commend all the work and effort here BUT......
The Department, nor the scientists working on CWD want no more deer. Period!
Any proposal and management strategy will have mediocre results with less deer allowed to live. Lets address these things...
Hey, I use to reach for the summit of Sussies nipple too. but every time I got close to reaching it there was sign that somebody had been there before me.

So it's really simple math.
x amount of hunters need Y deer population. so what we multiply X we need to do to Y.
In forty years, we have 3X the hunters and 1/2Y. To keep things moving along and everyone happy. 3X needs 3Y not1/2 Y but then who does Math anyway.
