Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fritz the Cat" data-source="post: 449579" data-attributes="member: 605">A couple of days before the House Floor vote April 11th, Brock dropped a flyer on all Representatives desks. The usual Saskatchewan studies of mule deer numbers going down because of CWD. That was easy to debunk, elk are cervids too and their numbers are increasing pushing mule deer out. Herds of elk (100 or more) have been crossing into North Dakota. We have one of the most studied cervid herds (2002) inside a fence at Wind Cave National Park South Dakota. A good percentage of them are wearing tracking collars. If an animal slows down and can't keep up with the herd or dies, they know about it. We are told coyotes/scavengers eat up a CWD dead animal in no time so therefore that is why we do not ever see them. The managers should be able to get there first. I know the NDGF has access to this information. It costs $4100 to belong to the Midwest Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies. An NGO comprised of 13 Midwest States. We sent NDGF DVM Charlie Bahnson on a retreat to Deadwood SD in 2023:<a href="https://www.mafwa.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/f-w_health_rpt23-1.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.mafwa.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/f-w_health_rpt23-1.pdf</a>Wind Cave National Park CWD Research Update Greg Schroeder or Glen SargentGlen Sargent is one of the leads on studying cervids in Wind Cave. He is employed by The Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center or US Geological Survey Jamestown ND. All this information is available to NDGF. Also, David Brandt worked with Glen Sargent at USGS and David is a board director with ND wildlife federation and Backcountry Hunters and Anglers. Brock Wahl is the chair of BHA and is handing out flyers with numbers from Saskatchewan but is not sharing a wealth of data from Wind Cave. WHY?Everyone knows everyone and no one knows shit. Maybe things don't fit the narrative? The CWD infection rate is 3%. They have been chasing out excess animals with helicopters for several years. Last fall they used only skilled park service sharp shooters to cull excess animals.   <a href="https://www.keloland.com/keloland-com-original/elk-herd-in-wind-cave-to-be-culled-to-fight-disease/" target="_blank">https://www.keloland.com/keloland-com-original/elk-herd-in-wind-cave-to-be-culled-to-fight-disease/</a></blockquote>

Verification: What is the most common fish caught on this site?
