We should start calling the game and fish constantly and report deer displaying behavior comparable to baiting and asking them if we can begin shooting them. #outlawdeer
Looks like the rodents were already chewing on them.Seems early for them to shed their antlers.
Nope. They were shed last night.Looks like the rodents were already chewing on them.
Frosted tips. looks from afar like rodent chew but upon further inspection.....Just a really cool rack! Especially for an "urban" buck!Looks like the rodents were already chewing on them.
Christmas brunch!The gang showed up a bit early today. Enjoy!
I guess I have a hard time disagreeing with this. Deer were essentially a timber species up until about 70 years ago. The Shelter Belt Program went into place from 1935-1942, likely none of them reached effectiveness for 20 years and then it took a while for dispersal to occur. I wasn't hunting deer in the 80's and early 90's but my uncles and grandpa sure talked it about it like the glory days. Even with the horrible winters in the late 90's, deer were very abundant then and into the early 2000s. I had something like 6 deer tags in 2006 along with all of my uncles and cousins. We should've been able to shoot more of them rats. Coincidently, that aligned with the peak of CRP acres in the state of approximately 3.4 million acres. Almost every shelter belt reached maturity by 2010 and the majority were removed thereafter. A lot of them went with the 2.3 million acres of CRP land that was planted into corn and soybeans over the last 15 years or so. Correlation does not always imply causation, but overall habitat in the state tracks very close to overall deer population, which seemed unchanged by major weather events for several decades up until recently.They stated they do not die from starvation but by freezing and to plant more cover.
Keep in mind that in order to transmit CWD to monkeys, now pay attention......They had to inject CWD infected brain matter directly into the cerebral cavity of the monkeys. Did you get that? They injected the material inside the monkeys skulls. They did the same thing to mice. Just read the materials and methods section of that paper. The ones that were fed the material didn't show any symptoms. They could only detect the material. So if you shoot yourself in the brain with infected deer brain you might catch it and show symptoms. Otherwise, you have to eat infected deer brain and then you might catch it, but be without symptoms. Pretty extreme measures to go through to try and ban baiting if you ask me. Carry On.Already been transmitted to monkeys in a lab setting quite some time ago. Hard time believing one case with the amount of positive deer being eaten throughout the country you'd think there'd be numerous suspicious cases.
