RE: NRB meeting

For the record, I don't and never have baited. Now that we have that out of the way...

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quotequote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>If you are that knit picky or just want to argue with the DNR over the definition of Bait being clear cuts, I'd hate to see how long it takes you to read a news paper with all those hidden meanings between the lines.<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote> Actually, I read pretty well. Apparently though, it is you, Logs, that has the comprehension problem.

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>Im not that good of a typist nor do I want to take the time to explain the difference between baiting in the problem area to achieve a particular goal or the long range effect of baiting as it effects deer hunting State wide for years to come. That is an entirely different and complex debate.<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>

...And this again from the DNR: <BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>Some argue that eliminating bait and feed may actually increase the harvest by increasing the activity of both hunters and deer.<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>

So what is the "particular goal" in the Eradication Zone you are talking about, Logs? Based on the DNR's own publication from this past July, baiting can actually lead to a lower deer harvest, not a higher one. Supposedly the problem in the CWD zone is that there are too many deer and the harvest needs to be increased. So now the DNR allows baiting in "the zone" to increase the harvest! Wow! Gotta love that DNR logic! No to mention that, if the supposition that CWD can spread from deer to deer from close contact is correct (again, as the DNR contends!), then the current 2.5% rate of infection can now grow even higher. Hey, gotta hand it to ya', Logs! That's some brilliant thinking by those "wildlife professionals"!

This issue has nothing to do with the past arguments about baiting. According to the DNR, baiting was banned due to CWD. Period. The other arguments about baiting, or as you put it "the long range effect of baiting as it effects deer hunting State wide for years to come" had nothing to do with it outside of the issue of CWD.

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote> I wonder if you tell your Doctor,plumber or auto mechanic how to do thier job or just give them your limited opinion?<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote> Actually, I wonder if you simply smile and hand over your money to anyone who purports to be an "expert". Ever hear of "second opinions"? They hide topics like that in things called books. But I suppose if your doctor suddenly came to you and said you needed a sex change, you'd head out to Victoria's Secret to see if you could hit a sale. Oh well, hope the hormone treatments go well...

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote> If you need any other questioned answered please feel free to contact me. Im always willing to help those who need direction.<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote> No thanks! Since it now seems apparent that you never, ever question anything, I think I'll seek knowledge elsewhere. I'll consult someone or something more reliable for "direction". Maybe some dice, a "Magic Eight-Ball", horoscopes...that is if the DNR doesn't have them all tied up.
