Thanks for the spelling lesson. Bahaha. It doesn't help typing with phat haha thumbs on a phone either. Sometimes things get by the stoop-id spell check filter too. Just because opinions are different, doesn't mean we're talking conspiracy. The biggest thing I noticed about our heard being dwindled down in many areas was a direct result of cwd. As soon as we were told we had it, the dnr started issuing 3 times as many tags. People filled em all and then complained there were no more deer. So one could blame cwd or blame the dnr for issuing to many tags, or blame hunters for having the need to fill every tag just because they had them in their pocket. Take your pick.

What your speaking of cmcf is what makes the most sense to me.
For years rendering plants would take most any form of animal to render. I used to hull of my carcasses, trapping ,and dear to the rendering plant. Skunk was the only one they would not expect. Cannibalism and
Prion related diseases seem to have a link. I wonder how many dear feeds were mand with rendered dear.

Pitman Robertson funds are used to purchase public lands and such fyi. Our taxes pay these alphabet agencies…. Just to clarify this for you…[/quote]


Just to correctly clarify...PR funds are divided up and sent back to the states largely dependent upon the number of hunting licenses sold. Your state dont sell many licenses, your share of the pie dwindles. So PR funding to the states IS directly linked to license sales. In Michigan, our taxes fund a fractional portion of the DNR. Hunting, fishing and trapping licenses fund the DNR. Take that money and matching PR funds and thats what funds 90 percent of our agency. I suspect many other states are funded similarly.....not general taxes. Again, no reason for wildlife agencies to abolish hunting or 'meat hunting'.

I doubt the DNR in Cali. cares about hunting, with less than 300,000 licenses sold that is not much of a revenue stream. The way they are going in another generation hunting will probably end in that land of fruits and nuts.

It's that the people who do care are very few. They have a very limited amount of money to complete an extraordinary task, which will now be impossible. Decades of pot farmers in the national forest, poaching and poisoning wildlife, cats going unchecked. An exploding hog population. Nothing of any significance was done about it. Don't have the money or the brains to fix any of it. Of course it's impossible to stop the spread of cwd. In fact I'm surprised it took this long to get here.

I remember traveling to SF on business in the 70s and residential neighborhoods had mule deer grazing on their irrigated lawns.

That's very kind of you to say mule deer. They are blacktails. Similar yet different. The ones in the bay area are dinky. If your buck is 100lbs on the hoof that's a decent buck. Not a one over 150lbs. Farther north they get much lager, 120 dressed is a wall hanger. but compared to 20 years ago there are very few. Go south and there are coastal mule deer south of Santa cruz.

Nowadays turkeys perch on people's cars and battle their reflection on the bumper,and pigs root up entire neighborhoods on the outskirts of big cities in the East Bay
