Message: <blockquote data-quote="BrockW" data-source="post: 438806" data-attributes="member: 5910">Just to correct my good friend, Trip. More of a PSA, if you will.Yea it isCWD was first found in ND in 2009. So half century is most certainly not correct. But considering the level of research that has been done around disease pathogenesis, there is no doubt that more than 1 deer has died from CWD in ND. There is 2 more that were found in clinical end stages of the disease.That’s not true. A number of research efforts have demonstrated that you can find infectious prions on mineral licks, in the soil around mineral licks, on feeders, and in bait piles.They’ve also been able to demonstrate horizontal and environment transmission….repeatedly and in elk, whitetail, and mule deer.Contagious disease spreads when animals are eating, pissing, and shitting in the same spot every day? Huh…sounds like a logical way for disease to spread to me.this one has always puzzled the conservation community and the GF. No one quite understands what the infatuation with AFWA is when it comes to the merry band of “CWD is a conspiracy” group. kind of entertaining to watch Dusty misquote the AFWA document. But outside of that….I always kind of enjoy these statements. It’s a form of flattery in my opinion. When someone makes an Ad hominem attack, it usually means their argument is shit.But what’s funny about this is that I, representing North Dakota BHA, drafted a bill to try and put more pronghorn tags back in public hunters pockets (SB2155). Last session we advocated for increased funding for private land habitat and cow elk tags for landowners. We also opened up thousands of acres of state trust lands to hunters.And yet somehow I’m simultaneously involved in a anti-hunting conspiracy…Man, the mental masturbation some of the master baiters will go through…</blockquote>
