RE: Radio Tracking Deer
So what they are trying to say is that an infected deer won' t roam!
Normarlly when any biologist uses a tracking device on an animal they are attempt to gather information. They aren' t making statements or drawing any conclusions until the tracking device provides them with movement information.
I wonder if a deer with CWD, since it effects the brian and nervous system, still follows the same travel patterns as a healthy deer? Now these deer are healthy, they track them for a period of time then harvest them or capture them agian, examine them and deterime if thier condition has changed, what area they' ve has been in, been in close contact with deer that have CWD and have since been harvested. If so that tells them something. It may just prove all the nay sayer correct, then agian not. Either way it isn' t that great of an amount and I can not see where it does any harm.
