Perhaps...Feel free to correct me, you'd be the guy to know. I don't remember there being an increase in wainwright tags/seasons?

You remembered wrong
Licensed hunters were increased from 200 from 150, a 3rd antlerless tag was issued and 100 base tags (20 per season) with a shoot an antlerless deer first condition. All due to increasing harvest and getting the required heads for testing.
Once CWD was confirmed, winter kills of 2010/2012 the hunters and tags were reduced.

The future of CWD testing will depend if it's a surveillance program (FW) or a human health program (AB Health) I would imagine and who will pay for it.
I feel bad for Montana but it was expected.
