In the 1800's the commercializers shot everything to sell to feed the railroad workers etc. Around 1900 laws were created to stop that practice and the government the sportsmen the landowners went out and fed the animals feed mineral and vitamins. That is how they brought populations back.Then don't feed the bears started. Now it's don't feed the deer. There is article upon article showing up how it is unwise to feed wildlife. Back in 1967 the government found CWD in their nutritional study pens at Fort Collins Colorado and later at Sybille Wyoming. Were they feeding them corn vitamins and minerals to see how fat they could make them? Doubt it. The prion theory is still a theory. Depending on who you are talking to. Like climate change some say the debate is over. In PG's Wyoming article it mentions how bad CWD is in a certain area. Maybe the ground is lacking needed minerals and vitamins? They should do a nutritional study on that. Commercialization of public resources is still happening today. The King Salmon in Alaska are being over fished. China cannot fish within 200 miles of or shores. A trammer boat sets on the boundary with a Norwegian flag. Our trawlers net fish and sail out to sea selling to the trammer boat. When it's full it heads to China. The pollock and cod are handling the pressure, but many species are not. King Salmon are almost all hatchery raised.I was just up there sport fishing and can tell you there are a lot of rules. The fishing was awesome, but the boats will tell you the catch is going down every year.</blockquote>

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