State wildlife managers say they are “strongly opposed” to the “disturbing” legislation, which would turn pen-raised whitetails into pets and threaten the state's wild deer.⁠ ⁠ A handful of Alabama lawmakers are pushing a bill that could totally upend whitetail deer management there. Introduced in the state House Thursday, the proposed legislation would make all of the state’s high-fence deer private property, and it would make deer breeders immune to the CWD regulations that have been imposed in Alabama, as in other states, to protect wild deer herds. State wildlife officials are not mincing words about the bill, which they view as a direct threat to Alabama’s wildlife and hunting traditions. The National Deer Association is also speaking out against it.⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in profile for the full story 🔗⁠ ⁠ #hunting #huntingseason #deerhunting #deerseason #cwd #chronicwastingdisease #wildlife #conservation #outdoors #outdoorlife⁠ Story by: dac.collins
