buckmine, I think you are trying to ask TM that, not me, but I will address it from my point of view incase I' m wrong.

First of all, this is an open discussion, so your not an outsider, welcome

Second, with dove hunting, that was TM and I don' t think because you don' t want dove hunting makes you worse than an anti-hunter. This is america and you can want whatever you want. Spring bear hunting is another issue, but I never meantioned it so I will leave that alone. And actaully, yes, I do wish that I could hunt whenever I wanted, but that isn' t how it works.

As far as the deer herd size, I really don' t know, but I think Wisconsin has the highest in the area (Wi, Mi, Mn) I don' t think MI has had any cases of CWD yet either, but if I' m wrong I' m sure someone will correct me.

The statement that WI has CWD and allowed baiting, I will take this one up. CWD did not get into the great state of Wisconsin because baiting was allowed. It certainly may be the reason that it is spread. You won' t get any complaints from me on that one.
