CWD- again and forever.
I’m not sure if I understand your question here. Fetuses are testing positive for CWD, fawns are testing positive at 6-9 months old. I don’t think it’s necessarily a function of age or allowing deer to get old enough. Many times it’s just a matter of exposure. Older bucks are just... -

CWD- again and forever.
Well something to consider is that those dots are just indicating a positive captive facility or game farm. So, I don’t necessarily think that’s relevant to the core of your question. From my discussion with the Wisconsin folks and looking at some of the preliminary results of their study, I’d... -

CWD- again and forever.
One that I find particularly interesting is the genetics side of this discussion. And I caution you here because some of that discussion gets a little complex and is beyond my ability to fully understand or convey. But one of the simpler ideas is that there would likely be signs in the genetic... -

CWD- again and forever.
Unlikely. Multiple states, regions, and smaller areas within states have tested thousands of animals and never found a case. So, that is to say that if it was simply a function of quantity of testing, we would’ve seen more random cases popping up. Those random cases would’ve undoubtedly... -

CWD- again and forever.
There isn’t much evidence that I’m aware of that suggests this specific disease was in deer or in North America before 1967 when it was first observed in CO where they were studying deer in a research facility that had held scrapie infected sheep. Not far away, in 1981, the first case was... -

Significant percentage reaching clinical end stage CWD, evidence of vertical transmission (doe to fetus), fawns being positive at 6-9 months old. -

CWD- again and forever.
Over the next several months Arkansas and Wisconsin will be wrapping up multi-year population studies using GPS collared deer. Around a thousand collared deer between the two studies. I just interviewed the Veterinarian from Arkansas, preliminary results are not good. The pictures and early... -

Montana Mule Deer Mismanagement
tree must be on the board of one of the outfitter and guide assoc., UPOM, or the Farm Bureau. Because I’m not aware of any other groups trying to destroy the North American model and spit in the face of the public trust doctrine. But maybe I missed a group. -

Fresh Tracks Weekly - Conflicted Wildlife Trustees (Commissioners)
I don't mean this to be argumentative. I think your question, perhaps rhetorical, highlights that dynamic well. However, as a thought experiment. I sometimes wonder what value landowners actually bring in the big picture. That sounds worse than I mean it, and let me try and explain. A...- brocksw

Two rifles, One Caliber?
@smalls you can build "clones" that are essentially the same rifle in terms of chamber dimensions. The owner of applied ballistics has done projects like this that he's talked about, and I believe some of the high end competition shooters do similar things. The problem for us regular folks... -

Fishery vs. wildlife
If you read his response to my post, I believe he’s stating that those numbers aren’t straight forward and don’t make that part of the discussion black and white. For example, elk numbers are up significantly. But he stated much of that growth is on private land and/or in the central or... -

Fishery vs. wildlife
Roosevelt, Pinchot, Muir, Marshall among others were wealthy individuals. No one would argue they were corrupt, in fact many would say they were some of the founding fathers of modern conservation. But they were civic minded individuals. They held a sense of duty to the places and critters... -

Fishery vs. wildlife
Some very good points and perspectives in there. It’s a big issue, with lots of nuance.
