[QUOTE="Fritz the Cat, post: 244302, member: 605"] I went back and watched the Jay Gregory clip originally posted by 5575. Jay has a lot of the right questions. In Pennsylvania they are asking the same questions. [url]https://www.facebook.com/jay.gregory.5/posts/2117305554999365[/url] The answer, CWD has been present for a much longer period of time in South Dakota and they don't have their hair on fire like Minnesota. Wind Cave is a National Park. No guns. CWD is prevalent. They had too many elk on the landscape. Instead of harvesting like we did in Theodore Roosevelt, the National Park Service opened the wire and used helicopters to chase excess elk into Custer State Park. How can there be an excess if they are all supposed to be dying??? Sportsmen were given tags into Custer to shoot them. Think about that. Spooked by helicopters and then shot at.... many survivor's (from a known CWD source herd) ran for their lives in every conceivable direction. South Dakota used to do a lot of antemortem testing of harvested cervids. Over the years they have dropped way down on testing. Here are the numbers.
