Legislature is pulling the strings now. Don't need reasoning . . . or science.

We just had our first 2 cases in MT., in the scentral part of the state, just above Wy. This is our first year of testing. They are going to rotate where they test depending on how close the neighboring states are that already have it. Wyoming was closest, with a positive muledeer on 7 miles from our southern border. It was just a matter of time until we got it.

Wierd you guys found it in the middle of the state. Any idea of how they contracted it?

The deer was seen acting very sickly, so a citizen called DNR.

Now there Is some talk about paying you If your deer tests positive. The rational Is that It will get more hunters to have their deer tested.
I have never had any of my deer tested.

This must be what Beav's referring to. I hadn't heard of this:

Probably from a Unregistered game farm.

They are hiding things in Minnesota now. I was told directly by a teacher involved that a student in a northern suburb of Minneapolis was caught with a .45 in his school backpack. Very recently. Not a peep in the news.

Too late. They are discovering it in wild deer in new areas all the time now. That horse left the barn.

One of the Ag papers I was reading talked about the governor discussing some significant changes in fencing and also a much more accelerated program to contain and control CWD spread. Boy it is really funny to see how late to the party some can be. We may just as well do like some of the states that have had this for many decades. Get your deer tested for free and if yours has CWD you get another tag free as well. It is to the point where it may not even make much difference if the deer farms or ranches have good fencing or not anymore. This got put off so long that now it probably is not a difference maker. Hard to manage 1 to 1.2 million deer in a state with 84% of the land in private lane owner hands, all with highly different ideas on managing deer and where most of the deer are as well.
Actually it is really asking more than is possible to have a public agency control a disease in a a wildlife species with great reproduction capability, mobility and high density on land they can not enforce beyond trying to change seasons or encourage ways for harvest to increase when as where needed.

You guys act like it won't have an impact? If that is the case, then it was never needed in the first place. Pick one.

Personally, I am glad Walker decided not just the outdoor community would carry the burden in slowing the spread.

Do you have insights as to what those new initiatives maybe? As most of what has been done in the past has not slowed the spread. With the new cases being sporadic across the state from north, south east and west maybe the new initiative will connect all the dots sooner and we can develop a "live with it plan".

Spend some time talking with farmers, loggers and metro area citizens and you will find the majority want far far fewer deer on the landscape than hunters do. We best be careful about asking others to work with us on population directives as it may be more dire than we may have planned or hoped for.

Check out the map of counties with baiting bans. Over half. Seems odd how a county like Jackson or Racine can nearly be surrounded by counties where baiting is illegal.

Anyone ever hear of this company? Looks like a fellow could test his own deer for a pretty low cost.

$50 isn't what I would consider low cost, especially if I wanted to be sure and test every deer I harvest. But then again I live in a city with a DNR office so dropping off a sample is super easy and better yet, free! And the blood test through SAW Corp isn't APHIS approved.

Deer farms are responsible for this whole mess. Until they are held financially responsible this mess will continue to get worse. Until you stomp out the source, it does no good to treat the problem.
