Lmao some you just dont get it. The reason you have to kill the deer with cwd is because it is so contagious and if you dont be proactive to cut off the spreading chance it can wipe out thousands of hoofed animals fast. Do some cwd homework youll see what im talking about. And for you guys that keep saying its not over population its human expansion, your just splitting hairs. Do you think your gonna stop human expansion? Or infringing on habitats?. Remember your stances next time you go camping? Or hiking or for that matter stay in your house all together that at one time was land that belonged to critters. Your hypocrits to your own points if you are human. Look if the rattler is being eaten and used then theres no problem with it. We arent talking about people going into pet stores and whackin ball pythons. We are talking about an abundant supply of a resource. Get over it. Its time for lunch so im gonna go enjoy a burger made from meat from a cow that was kept in horrible conditions and shot in the head with a bolt gun. Or maybe some bbq from a pig that was bled out alive and hung or i might have some chicken that was raised in over crowded holding areas while they walk over the dead chickens that couldnt stand up anymore. That free roaming rattlesnake doesnt sound too bad now does it?
