[QUOTE="John Arman, post: 358927, member: 8118"] Mr Pike, I have no skin in this game. I have been in a no baiting unit since the start of this. Banning baiting would only help hunters like myself who do own land and have the ability to put in food plots and habitat. Yes I have helped put out information on CWD. But it has never been one sided. I think there is always two sides of the story and the more information you have the better off you are in making an educated decision. The side I take on this is science and data. That is what our Game and Fish is supposed to do and at this time I don’t see that. I understand CWD is on the landscape and has been since the 60s. At this point in time there is no data at all that shows that baiting spreads the increase of CWD. So if there is no data on this why are we looking at taking away opportunities for all hunters which include the youth, disabled, veterans, elderly and the average Joe. Isn't there other things that are more important that taking away baiting? I think so. Maybe landowner relationships and habitat would be a good place to start. It just seems that this is a big pissing fight that doesn’t need to happen and from what I have seen in other states won’t change a thing. [/QUOTE]
