Harvest rate should go down a bit since guys that won’t mess with reporting will also say they didn’t harvest as well. Does that increase future tags or decrease?
Well, if that crap takes off in the area you hunt combined with another blue tongue outbreak and you won't have to worry about em shutting down deer hunting. There won't be enough left to hunt.
I smell some "new science" that our Board will come up with that states we can no longer eat CWD animals, therefore giving them the go-ahead to shut down deer hunting

Anyone know how many confirmed cases we’ve had in WA? Maybe I missed it?
