If you are in a state where the deer herd is out of control then I think it is a good idea. In WI, I have been reading alot about CWS. In my opinion, and thats all this is, if thats what it takes to get it under control then I am in favor of it. If you cant use the meat yourself, you can always give it away or donate it. And isnt having a healthy deer herd what truly matters in this?
