This video is from the public meeting and outlines the concept the agency is currently taking feedback on before presenting to the Commission for changes in deer regulations in the CWD affected area.

Question Title

* 5. Would the concept shared in the public meeting cause you to harvest more deer? The concept consists of the following:
During the August deer hunt, in positive counties and high-risk counties, allow 2 additional antlered deer to the statewide limit, and allow all of the following methods: rifle, muzzleloader and archery.
Also, any CWD positive antlered deer harvested outside of the August season would result in a replacement buck giving hunters an extra antlered deer to harvest.

Yes

Question Title

* 6. Select the options that would motivate you to harvest more deer in the CWD positive and high-risk counties?
