Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fritz the Cat" data-source="post: 343361" data-attributes="member: 605">Update, some money was added on to old Bills upping the ante to $10 million currently being spent on CWD. Biden signed that. And then there is this latest Bill upping things to $70 million:<a href="https://www.outdoorlife.com/hunting/cwd-act-introduce-senate/" target="_blank">Senate Introduces Act to Secure $70 Million in CWD Funding | Outdoor Life</a>Here is a little blurb from that story:“Chronic wasting disease poses an increasing threat to deer, elk, and other wild cervids as it continues to spread with no known cure,” said BHA president and CEO Land Tawney. “CWD also represents a threat to the millions of Americans who rely on healthy cervid populations to feed their families and continue their outdoor traditions. Backcountry Hunters and Anglers commends Senators Hoeven and Heinrich for introducing bipartisan legislation that addresses this crisis by providing federal resources for the cooperative research and management of CWD between state and tribal agencies.“Unfortunately, it’s not a matter of if your state or region will be impacted by CWD, but when,” said Tawney. “We look forward to working with leaders in both the Senate and the House to expedite advancement of the Chronic Wasting Disease Research and Management Act to the president’s desk.”Currently, CWD has spread to 29 states and three Canadian provinces. It’s difficult to detect the disease in live deer. In March, <a href="https://www.outdoorlife.com/conservation/congress-approves-10-million-cwd-fundin/" target="_blank">President Biden signed a bill</a> that provided $10 million to combat CWD, but that money was a drop in the bucket compared with the funding needed to properly respond to the disease. The $70 million total would be a massive help to the wildlife and agricultural agencies currently working on this issue.In other news, the NDG&F is dropping eight thousand tags because of EHD while Utah, Wyoming and Oregon are dropping 13,000 tags because of drought, habitat loss and disease. <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/utah-wyoming-and-oregon-are-cutting-big-game-tags-due-to-drought-conditions-will-other-states-follow/ar-AAX2Iut?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531&cvid=c2cfd8ef7f6b4f1db371b95351c424a5" target="_blank">Utah, Wyoming, and Oregon Are Cutting Big Game Tags Due to Drought Conditions.
