They are trying to thin the flock to head off any CWD outbreak I think is the claim, they could probably extend some seasons. They need to enter certain areas where hunting is not allowed and thin those herds. we rent a farm of 335 acres and there must be 150 deer on there and the owner doesn't allow any one else to hunt in there. He only takes 6 pts or above....Last year I think 2 deer were harvested...
