Default RE: CWD in wild deer in New York...Article

If you need any examples, try checking out Wisconsin. They found CWD in the wild in their herd in early 2000, spent millions killing hundreds of thousands of deer to "eradicate" the herd, and contain this so-called "epidemic". Yet last year they enjoyed their second best deer take ever. An expert from the state very accurately summed it all up when he said that it wasnt the CWD that was the epidemic, rather the scare tactics and kneee-jerk reactions that followed. How true...

I feel bad for you guys in that area. Itll definitely affect you this season anyway. The good thing is, they dont plan to kill hundreds of animals like other states have, and will continue this falls deer season. Youll just be required to take your kills to a check station nearby so they can pull a sample from the deer for study.
