RE: C.W.D.
Thanks for the offer Peak. Depending on how far they want to lower the density around hear, I may need to find a new place to hunt. Good thing I filled my freezer with Moose last fall or I'd have a freezer full of Whitetail. With a little luck it will be full of Moose again next fall and I won't have to worry about eating this suspect venison from my neighborhood. Guess I'll just keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best.
NOTE TO ALL: This does not mean I feel the DNR knows how to count deer. If they say this is from over population, I'm not buying it. If they say this area needs to be killed out to control CWD and protect the rest of the state, I'll do my part. <img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>

Nub I have heard that some of the deer taken this week showed signs of advanced stages.(wasting away, skin and bones) did you hear anything about this or the three bucks that where taken in Nov. as to weather they showed signs?
I wouldnt be afraid to eat the deer you shot this fall. CWD has been out west for over 16 years and noone has caught it. they have even injected CWD material into liveing cows brains and found that it doesnt spread to the new host.
But if you ain't going to eat it let me know when to come over and pick it up! <img src=icon_smile_clown.gif border=0 align=middle> <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

RE: C.W.D.
cheese: I heard from a freind that one of the first bucks taken showed signs of being sick. The only thing I've heard since is a few gunshots. I've already eaten half of the deer I took last year so I might as well finish it off.<img src=icon_smile_dead.gif border=0 align=middle>

RE: C.W.D.
I couldn't make the Mt. Horeb meeting but a buddy of mine did attend. He said they were told that CWD has in 1 instance out west, jumped to humans. This is not good news. The person who contracted the disease was over sixty and died from it. Apparently once symtems occur, your toast within 18 months. Can any one else confirm this? Seems of the 180 deer they have taken so far, most have been does and fawns. The CWD was found in 3.5 yr. old bucks. Could be kind of hard this time of year to target those age class deer with their horns being dropped. My freind will be making me copies of the hand outs from the meeting and I will try and scan them and post them as soon as I can get them.
