The problem is, is when you have them come to the a yard, show them 650 feed deer at a silage pile and then say "it would be 750 if 100 people didn't shoot does out of that stand over there" and the biologist says that bait pile is where CWD is going to be spread and disregard the other 650 deer...
One of my favorite responses I get is "well you guys don't allow anyone to hunt, thats why you have 650 deer in your yard" and then you tell them 650 was after 100 were taken out of the yard by people from our stand and ask how many people they took hunting the last 10 years total.. We were...
The "Hotspot" in 3a1 (where the game and fish did their herd eradication) was around Williston which borders montana where baiting is restricted.
The jump from 0 or 2 to 6.9 occurred after a baiting restriction in mule deer.. So that would mean natural transference in a herd setting of mule...
She never mentions 3a1 in the post about the graph.. But if she was her 3a1 line would have to jump from 0 to less than 2% to 6.9% in mule deer only over a 3 year period (again, mule deer frequency at bait piles is much lower then whitetails, plus for the years of the big spikes baiting...

Those are pictures from the links I sent with the infection rates highlighted.. I didn't include a 2018 link becuase it was below 1%. The rest show infection rate of white tails and mule deer and break it down to each in 3f2. I added those together to get the...
More intensive sampling over a small area.. So test more frequently (every year) in known hotspot units and hope for better for involvement. The focus right now is on the western half the state.. why would you wide scale move away from testing there intensely every year (hopefully at better then...
1. The game and fish has TRIED to overtake the feeding of wildlife twice through the legislature and has failed... both my father and I have said many times they can only regulate means of take..
2. Its just a coincidence that after a 3 year spike in cases in 3f2, the unit with the longest...
Although "many" may have wanted a ban in 07 and 09, the majority didn't and the legislature listened.. That's how our political system works.. Someone writing regulations into a proclamation after failing through the legislature seems like they are unaccountable to a majority (remember, that's...
Seems like your legislature is trying to take some steps in the right direction trying to swing the pendulum from what I'm seeing on other forums in here.
Imagine an anti-hunting/trapping governor appointing an anti hunting/trapping fish and wildlife director, and only allowing the governor...
Port is socially very liberal.. He claims to be fiscally conservative so maybe that's how he can claim to be libertarian leaning.. But on stances like this and many others in the state, he leans one way way harder than libertarian (I think the libertarian way technically would be to abolish the...
What happens when the ND game and fish tries to write laws that restrict the public? They tried twice in 07 and 09 to pass a baiting ban and it failed both times, but then was back doored into the CWD proclamation which the governor then signs in. The governor and lt governor have had multiple...
Awe yes.. The age old EWG website that has basically every farmer in the state listed to some extent on there. I really do wish we were more like Canada on a few farming aspects.. Privatized crop insurance, no subsidies, etc.. Hopefully the US can get back to that someday
I state the online portal has it, and then Casey says it's not in the curriculum(in person vs online I know).. It is very clearly brought up in the curriculum that the game and fish is using through their online platform.
I really don't get how people still think that's me 😂😂 PPP loans that 5.2 million business's in the US took and over 50,000 people in nodak.. If those federal dollars haven't been spent yet I'm really glad to know that ND game and fish is spending some of their revenue on a pointless decal..
