RE: CWD found in northern Illinois
Nick,
The media down here is already in a panic. The were long before it was "officially" found here. Stupid though, but what do you expect out of Chicago.
I'd be willing to bet that WI finds it in a lot of places outside the hotzone this year. Wouldn't surprise me if they find it all around IL too. Heck, it's probably been here for a long time...who knows.
I really feel sorry for you guys up there in the CWD Zone. I've been hunting there for years, and still do, but I don't live there. You folks do. It's a shame and only one thing's for sure...hunting will never be the same again.
