    There is currently no such thing as CWD “immunity”. 96SS whitetail deer are less susceptible, but they are not “resistant”. They can still get the disease and they still die from the disease, they also still shed infectious material. The same goes for mule deer(225FF) and elk (132LL). They...

    They’re talking about making the lower peninsula just like North Dakota. Banning baiting where there is disease and allowing it where there is no disease. Right now it’s banned for the entire lower peninsula.

    Again….the full amount is not appropriated automatically. It must go through appropriations and be funded. Looks like it was 17.5 million for FY24 and the same proposed for FY 25. And again, these funds are competitive grants so not every agency or cervid farm gets money. You must apply with...

    Yes, though I believe I stated that clearly in the Bismarck Boat ramp thread. And yes again, Dave is on our board, though he is now a “retired” waterfowl biologist. I consider him a very close friend of mine. Stand up guy and a huntin fool. But you forgot to mention that I’m from the same...

    I think there’s around 31 certified testing labs in the country.

    Yeah, that I’m not sure.

    Nationwide, not ND. I’ve never said there is “proof” either way. Just that most signs point to this being a fairly recent phenomenon. And the 400 million that you mention in the previous post is not necessarily accurate. The Chronic wasting disease and research act allocated “up to” 70...

    The reputation of this forum is well known, so none of this has been a surprise. But there’s lots of lurkers, so it was worth a shot to try and get good information out there. Average NDA member is perhaps the most accurate parody account I’ve ever seen.

    There’s been hundreds of thousands of tests done in the last 20 years, if not over a million.

    That’s false…a lot of false. There is no federal mandates for testing. There is no “free money” for agencies. There is no money for finding positives. And voluntary testing started well before 5 years ago.

    To build on Allen’s excellent post a page or two back, there really isn’t any indication that this disease has always been around. CWD has a very predictable pattern, meaning the geographic distribution is radial and progressive. Starts small, with a couple cases, then grows outward in...

    Well, for the first 20 years it wasn’t really in a lot of places, so it would be hard to kill all the deer in states where they didn’t even have the disease. C’mon, you can do better.

    GPS collars. Wisconsin has a study going on right now where over 700 deer have been collared. Arkansas, CO, Wyoming, all those studies use GPs collars.

    No congratulations necessary. But thank you for the compliment! I feel sorry for you though. Carrying all that cynicism around must make for a miserable life. Cheer up! There’s more to life than chasing made up conspiracy theories on the internet.

    Oh I ask questions, but I tend to ask veterinarians who actually work with the disease on a daily basis. They provide facts, evidence, research backed up by other repeatable research, they put me in contact with other veterinarians who specialize in the pathology and epidemiology of wildlife...

    No, I think things are pretty well established and there’s really very little doubt about it. But the confirmation bias and denialism is definitely strong within the “CWD is a conspiracy” crowd, that’s for sure. I will say, it is kind of funny to watch folks literally jump headfirst into every...

    I’m saying it would be difficult for round up ready alfalfa to be the cause of CWD given it didn’t exist until 2005. Furthermore, if prion diseases were caused by glyphosate, how would one explain scrapie in sheep, which has been documented well before glyphosate was even thought of. Besides...

    I thought round up ready Alfalfa wasn’t released until 2005.
