Part 4 It’s time to call a truce in the brucellosis wars by Todd Wilkinson

Roffe is now free to speak his mind, and what he has to say challenges the status quo politics of brucellosis management.

Roffe not only believes that Wyoming’s and Montana’s conflicting approaches to dealing with brucellosis have been failures but also says the very premise that brucellosis can be successfully eradicated from wildlife is based on assumptions that fall apart under scientific scrutiny.

Now that the basic foundation is laid, it will be more hard hitting on the subject. I have archived his articles here. Nate Schweber's article is due out. I will link that as soon as it goes up.

Back to transcribing the last elk brucellosis working group meeting in Park County, so y'all can see what they are submitting to the FWP commissioners on the 13th. One of their items was to do away with the hunt roster and use only local Park County hunters of their choosing for these Elk Management Removals, as well as sportsmen paying for miles of tall fencing (Redfield said his cost him $5000.00 a mile). They are not content to get free stack fencing with no public hunter access during the general season, they want pasture fencing now.
