You know the CWD thing is the same here in oregon, They tell us the same thing??? I guess it might be because the test has to be done with in 12 hours to conferm it. Thats got to be it . they want to kill it so they can get a fresh sample. I guess Id let it walk and call fish and game. as far as the botton buck. Fish and game wouldn't let you tag that deer ???? confused as to why you were issued another tag???
