Here in Wisconsin I think it has improved due to cwd. I have seen more big bucks each of the last four years than i did all my years before that. Cwd has caused more does to be harvested, you have to earn a buck somore hunterspass on the two year olds( which were most commenly harvested before). I call cwd the dnr way to forcetrophy management. I'm very happy with the hunting in my area.
