next time include the entire quote not just what serves your purpose. I wrote
"WI has not. CWD is not causing any sort of die off," I spoke to WI not other states.
the rest of your post was pointless fluff and was of no vale whatsoever.
then with your passion for citation I invite you to cite the proof of massive CWD die off in WI. I'll wait here while you supply the many citations. Please be though . Thanks in advance.

"Van Deelen emphasized oftentimes the disease itself is not what kills the deer," I laughed. The 3 "B's" killed the deer and after testing they were discovered to have CWD. 100% of humans that eat carrots will die. Often times they will die of other causes but when you look back at there past. POOF! they were found to have eaten a carrot at some point in their life.
I’m not sure if this as directed at my reply or not as you didn’t quote anyone, but I’ll assume it was directed at me.next time include the entire quote not just what serves your purpose. I wrote

Tim Vandeelen and I have sat together on a few committees and many meetings over the years related deer management issues . I called him the Lorax because at one meeting he introduced himself as the guy who speaks for the trees since they could not speak for themselves. I’ve known him since around 2007. I simply mentioned his quote about how deer with CWD die. It was funny.I could link to the research for that comment too, but you are a waste of time. I’ve linked it in other threads so you can dazzle us with your own research skills if you can find it.
You keep saying this (probably copy/pasting from the other 17 forums you troll). I don’t know how to tell you this, but you don’t have a sig line.
I wonder why? I have checked the box (so its on) the box that says "Show signature lines on other's posts" Others may have that box unchecked so they dont see sig lines.
The point is, I laugh at haters. It disarms them. I dont suffer fools very well so I laugh at them. Some give me ample opportunity to laugh at them. That why I dont use the ignore feature. They are typically off topic like the joker here that pouts and whines constantly.
I don't think anyone else sees it
No your blanket comment that 50% of bucks in Iowa county with CWD is not factual. That is not what Smith said. You will want to read it again to spot his hype and that It’s not the entire county but he got you to fall for the hype. Im linking the DNR test results form this year for all WI counties. You will notice Iowa County (all deer, not just bucks) has an infection rate of 27% *and thats ALL deer analyzed in the county this year.I did not make any claim about a die off---you did. Regardless: 50% of bucks in Iowa County with CWD, almost 7 % of all deer in 2019. I think that is significant. Folks get their panties in a bundle about wolves, but they ain't taking 50% of bucks in a county. https://www.jsonline.com/story/spor...n-payments-positives-merits-trial/2653155002/
I applaud out of the box thinking and new ideas but fear this one wont net the results hoped for as the temps wont get high enough and infected deer that would re-enter an area would re-infect the soil. This sort of thing also would not apply in WI in the ag country where the only thing on the land to burn is crops and homes/farms. But I dont think an area larger than a couple acres would be required for such a test and even soil samples could be heated to temps that mimic a forest fire in a lab to know if it has the desired effect. In WI incinerators and digesters have been used to dispose of carcasses but trying to apply that to millions of acres is not feasible. Bleach too is proven effective on the prions but the thought of enough bleach to effect millions of acres is laughable and all of these ideas dont address the living hosts (cervids) that then repopulate an area only the shed all over again. We cant kill all the deer. We can disinfect all of the environment and both of those things would have to happen at the same time and since neither can, no "shoot more" will have the desired effect to stop CWD. People need to come to terms with this.
Back on topic, researchers in Colorado are looking at the effects of prescribed fire on prion numbers in soils and plants. The results are not out, and will not be for a couple more years, but it is an interesting take on CWD management.
Fire may help control chronic wasting disease
The prion proteins that cause chronic wasting disease survive for years in soil and are taken up by plants.www.avma.org
