Agree 100% Fletch!

On the baiting -vs- CWD issue. At one of Wisconsins CWD meetings , the truth behind the DNR's eagerness to ban baiting finally came out. The &quot;ban baiting to prevent CWD&quot; was the perfect smoke screen the DNR needed to do what they've wanted to do for some time. A local bioligist spilled the beans so to speak when he said that &quot;because of baiting , Wisconsin is failing to keep deer numbers in check&quot;<img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle> I can see his point in that regard , as alot of hunters would feed the deer all winter long which would drastically reduce the number of winter kills. It has never been proven anywhere that baiting spreads CWD.

&quot;Nocked,cocked & ready to rock&quot;
