Some areas in SK and Alberta(last winter) are trying to deal with predators at the municipal level at least. The RM of Brittania a few minutes from my home has a bounty this winter again on coyotes of $25 and a bounty on Wolves of $250. Bonnyville, AB last winter was offering a $1000 bounty on Wolves.

Someone should have done a bit more research before writing that. I don't recall any provincial organization or Wildlife Federation indicating that the drop in deer numbers is on account of CWD. And he's also completely wrong, there hasn't been a case of CWD in Manitoba. He states "It appears to be spreading to BC", then goes on to say "I hope we don't have to deal with this disease here."
In provinces that have had harsh winters in the past few years, it's no doubt that this is the major contributing factor to the decline, mainly areas of AB, SK and MB.
That said, predators and uncontrolled hunting certainly play a large part in areas, and since weather is the one thing that can't be controlled or governed, we need to revise how laws and legislation are written in order to attempt to control these contributors to the population decline.
I thought I read some place that there are a lot more deer killed on alberta hiways through out the year than are killed by hunters each fall. FS
Funny that you type this.
I was just mentioning this yesterday with a buddy and the low deer count
we seem to have around here.
The Trans Canada Highway goes by our house and to and fro to town there
were deer carcasses on the highway quite frequent or the remains of them.
Haven't seen one yet this winter..........yet.
