Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fritz the Cat" data-source="post: 359192" data-attributes="member: 605">cwd-info.org is one of those data collection sites."The science in support of the ban on baiting and feeding is strong and comes from a number of diverse scientific sub-disciplines (veterinary medicine, wildlife ecology, biochemistry, physiology, etc.). Consequently, there is no single comprehensive study or paper that, by itself, demonstrates the CWD-related effects of baiting and feeding of wild deer (good or bad). Evaluating the science relative to baiting and feeding requires integration of scientific evidence from several different sub-disciplines."Mr. Pike, lots of talking heads, nobody saying anything."A discussion of CWD in a review of the scientific literature on captive deer done for The Wildlife Society (Professional society for wildlife biologists, managers, and researchers; publisher of 3 premier peer-reviewed scientific journals on wildlife ecology and management)… “Concentration of deer and elk in captivity or in the wild by artificial feeding may increase the likelihood of transmission between individuals.” (DeMarais et al. 2002, p. 6)."Mr. Pike, I have only attended one Wildlife Society meeting. They are not open to the public. They brought in a speaker and he said, "the management of wildlife should not reside with the legislature, it should be placed squarely in the hands of highly intelligent trained wildlife professionals."Mr. Pike, you are not reading science, you are reading data. The USGS or United States Geological Survey collects data. Located in Jamestown, the Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center. One David Allen Brandt works there. Mr. Brandt is also on the board of the North Dakota Chapter of Backcountry Hunters and Anglers.<a href="https://www.backcountryhunters.org/north_dakota_chapter_board" target="_blank">https://www.backcountryhunters.org/north_dakota_chapter_board</a>Dave Brandt, BOD<img src="https://d3n8a8pro7vhmx.cloudfront.net/backcountryhunters/pages/4916/attachments/original/1564088662/Dave_Brandt.png?1564088662" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Dave grew up in the agricultural landscape of Iowa and learned at a young age the implications of limited access to limited resources for those who yearn to spend their free time in the great outdoors. After graduating from Iowa State University, Dave moved to an outdoorsman’s paradise called North Dakota to begin his career as a wildlife biologist for 27 years. Unfortunately, Dave watched the same history of commercialization and loss of access that he witnessed in Iowa unfold in his new home. This is the same plague that has decimated hunting in many states for those with modest means."In order for future generations to enjoy any semblance of what we have been so blessed to enjoy, it is imperative that we defend those special places remaining, which belong to all Americans, from those who only think with their pocketbooks or care only about the bottom line."Mr. Pike, read that bio. Whoa.David Brandt was also a sponsor of the Clean Air 5% oil revenue rip off, past president of the ND Wildlife Federation, a sponsor of the fair chase folly, a former moderator on NODAKOUTHOUSE.He collects data.If 30 guys like that exchange each others peer-reviewed data/science, is it science?</blockquote>
