Manuel Bright+FollowI just found out hunting mature bucks helps fight CWDBeen thinking about this after reading a recent study—turns out targeting mature bucks does more than just fill the freezer. Older bucks are more likely to carry CWD, and by harvesting them, we actually help slow its spread. Lower deer density, younger herd structure, and fewer infected animals on the landscape—it all adds up. Makes me wonder: should more of us be focusing on older age-class bucks not just for the trophy, but for the herd's health too? #hunting #CWD #buckhunting #Outdoors 83Share
bushjill+FollowI didn’t know deer could carry disease...Sharing this because it really stuck with me—on a group hunt a few years ago, one of the guys I was traveling with ended up contracting CWD. Turns out it came down to mishandling the deer during field dressing and not wearing gloves. I had no idea it was even possible back then. Now I’m a lot more cautious anytime I’m processing game. Are you guys taking precautions when processing deer? Ever had a close call? #hunting #HuntingSafety #CWD #DeerHunting354Share
