[QUOTE="Fritz the Cat, post: 244283, member: 605"] Some of you guys are trying hard to convince yourselves this is not serious. Our highly intelligent wildlife professionals differ. Two years ago Representative Ron Kind from Wisconsin introduced a Bill for about $35 million for monitoring and research. (note the word monitoring) A companion Bill was wrote in the Senate by Montana Senator Jon Tester for $60 million for monitoring and research to be given to federal, State and tribal governments. Again (note the word monitoring) Think new pickup trucks, optics, guns, more agents, more testing and sharpshooters. That exact model happened in Wisconsin the last 15 years and how is that working? Meanwhile research money has just about dried up. Federal, State wildlife agencies along with their surrogate non-profits have been pushing the Kind and Tester Bills to get more money but that isn't working. The trouble is they are written by the National Wildlife federation, the CWD Alliance and Quality Deer Management Association. So they have invented new Bills this time trying a study using a neutral agency called the National Academies of Sciences.
