Gotcha. Anyhow here's some evidence that bucks are more to blame for the spread. It's not whitetails nor is it from AL, but y'all can argue over it anyway. "Our models predicted that harvesting 40% of adult males per year across 20 years would maintain prevalence below 5% on average, whereas if only 20% of males were harvested in each year, prevalence would increase to >30% by year 20." https://esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/eap.3089ETA: And another thing! I see GA and NC have a two buck limit and CWD? Is that right? I was hunting in SC recently and they told me they could kill five bucks per year and no restrictions. And no CWD? Well Alabama will never have CWD then. Bama kills way more than 20% of our buck herd annually and has been doing it for the last 50 yrs. In fact, Alabama probably wipes out 30-40% of the 1-3 yr old male age classes each year. It's why our age structure and sex ratios both suck, pretty much uniformly across the entire state. What is the current best estimate in Alabama for the percentage of buck herd killed annually by all causes? An estimate with some scientific and statistical street cred, not dude on the internet opinions?
