Terasec, unfortunately, the COs dont have all the info sometimes. They are in enforcement. Ag and markets is who to speak to. Its believed that from the initial positives, the rehabbing and release of deer legally may have caused the contact.

Ruffed grouse, in some cases, yes, it might be. In low population areas, normal movement doesnt seem to allow it to spread, and hunting does the rest. Each situation seems to be handled differently. The state had initially said they werent planning eradication projects. They might still, though. I just post what Im being told to date.
