They absolutely are checking for it. Thousands of deer were tested in SE ND in 2023 as that was the target zone for monitoring. Zero detections were found

With the 2023 chronic wasting disease surveillance season completed, the North Dakota Game and Fish Department reported 11...
I don't have much left to compare them too as I've sold what I haven't been using.
Leupold golden ring 12-40x60 set at 16x
Zulu 16 pro
My thoughts on zulus is what they lack in depth of focus and edge to edge clarity they make up for with the stabilization. After hunting with them I never...
Not outside the store but they are nice. Most go with the 16s as they have the same advertised field of view as the 12s, but the 12s definitely seemed just a bit more forgiving and very pleasant to look through. If I went back to the hdx I would strongly consider the 12s for an all around bow...
I sold my 42s to make room for the 50s. We did have them side by side. Both 16s. I'm used to the omniscan now so it would be hard to go back to the 42s. Battery life was just fine I've been playing with them since launch week and they are still on the original batteries. Maybe the 18s are less...
I think you could make the argument that for the $ they aren't worth the extra $500 over the 42s but to say they are trash is wild. I had a chance to hunt behind the 16 pros for a week and the omniscan was incredible. Better light transmission and improved color with the 50mm objective and new...

Not talking alt list, talking released combos. This topic gets beat to death every year. Play long enough in MT and it will happen to you. And as others are saying, good luck ever drawing a permit of you're never in the draw. I'm going on a horrible record of either getting a released combo and...
You would hope the drawing stats include reissued tags and just shows who drew and who didn't because you do lose your points if you draw a reissued tag. But who the heck knows. I'm in with 3. If I pull a permit I'm probably out of this mess until they do away with the combo all together
You are underestimating the point buyers who just bought a point in '22 and will buy another at time of app. That is the missing variable in the 12,000+ in line from last year + the 0pt allocation
For those making plans for '24 remember 2 points is a good shot but won't be guaranteed. I was in the pool in '22 for BGC with 2 points. 3% of us didn't draw. That number is going to continue to grow as the system continues to be flooded with applicants.
