The tests are conducted by the Game & Fish at their labs in conjunction with the University of Wyoming. Even though we're out here at the edge of the planet, I trust their results.

Based on what?.......what information do you have about the test or how it is done or what it's accuracy is? Is it guarenteed 100%? What kind of sample do you send them?......what care is given to these samples as far as storage from the time you send them in until they are tested to insure a viable tissue sample?

I really don't know what they do for these tests because I don't even know of one around here. Thanks in advance for any info you can give.

Would be a real money maker if somebody would come out with a "field test" that was reliable.

The liability would be astronomical.

Sure glad they didn't think that way before they had a cure for polio.

What do you mean?

Not sure I would call the New Scientist a scientific journal. In fact, let me correct myself. I wouldn't. It's more along the lines of Popular Science.

New Scientist is just citing the article and using it for a story.
