What they should have done, was did a mandatory CWD sampling for the rest of the season in Lauderdale County within a 3 sq mile buffer zone from where the infected CWD deer was found. Not an all out kill everything you see.

Post-season targeted culling is one of the only known methods to directly slow CWD growth in areas where CWD is not widely established, on public land and with participating landowners. Besides being an effective CWD management tool, targeted culling presents the opportunity to gather additional data, such as metrics of reproduction, to inform other aspects of local deer populations.The timing of conception is informative for hunters who want to focus their efforts on the time of peak rut in their area. Timing of parturition, or fawning, is also important for land managers who may alter their activities around this time to promote fawn survival. Other metrics, such as pregnancy rates, fetuses per pregnant female, and fetal sex ratio are all indications of herd health and important for informing projections of deer herd growth over time
