[:@] Where did you come up with this?[:@]

Maine tested 831 deer from all WMD' s this year along with all other new england states to answer whoever asked.We have a small deer herd with only 25-35,000 deer killed per year.No it can' t be stopped or contained at this point and until they come up with a cure and a way to treat wild deer herds it will continue to spread slowly but surely.As deer wander back into infected areas after all are killed out they will reinfect and it will start up again.Killing lots of deer will slow it down in its spread and Wisc. is to be commended for using this approach but it will not remove it or contain it,only SLOW it.I repeat in all these years what state or province has successfully eliminated CWD from its woods?And if this occured how would they prevent deer from adjoining states from crossing invisible borders and reinfecting their area?And how do they get around the three+ year recontamination time frame?They would have to remain deerless for a long time.Sad but true this is all just slowdown tactics in place while we wait for science to come up with some type of treatment measures.In Wisc. unpoliced captive deer herds will probably turn out to be the root cause of their CWD outbreak.Barring a large multi-state jump we here in the east have some time but it will eventually make its way here at some point without a treatment breakthru.On a good note almost all states are closing their borders to interstate deer and elk movement and thats a GOOD thing.

I didnt come up with it, the deer did.

Hope ILDNR is smarter than WDNR.

2: I' m sorry, I must have missed the part in your link that says. " it spread to Ill from WI" . Please direct me to that point any where in your IDNR. Whats your IDNR doing about CWD? Beside knowing that a few out of 4,000 or so have tested positive, just what do they know that they can enlighten the WI. DNR on? We' ve tested about 40,000 here pal, thats 10 times what your DNR has. Perhaps your DNR doesn' t want to know how wide spread it really is in Ill. Our DNR has made a very good effort to test 500 deer from each county in the state of Wisconsin. We have over a 90% probability(upper 90' s I believe) that that we know exactly how wide spread CWD is in our state. Can you say the same? Perhaps you' d be better off leaving this matter to your DNR. Their the experts, not you.

Or is it F.I.B.?

I must have missed the WI to IL transfer in that report too. It' s an assumption. But that brings a good point to this discussion, there are some more assumptions out there about CWD. They don' t know " for sure" if it does stay in the soil and that is how deer herds can get re-infected. Until there is a true scientific report about it, I' m not going to give up. The problem with that is there is no way to do a " true" scientific report on it yet since they can' t test deer alive in the first place to see if they already have CWD.

Either way though, I will take the approach of trying to contain CWD than just let it spread across the country that many other states have taken the stance of.

F.I.B. for sure!

Nub:
You obviously have alot of pent up frustration, which is understandable, but it is obvious you are unable to carry on a rational conversation with out trying to be insulting and disreguarding proper ediquette. Should i soon find myself in your situation it is possible I may even be more salty that you, but For now the previous reasons will sufice for the fact this will be my last posting in this thread.

And I also will correct myself.
It is appearant that E-zone just north of the IL boarder which has now doubled in size is no way or could in no way be related to the fact that CWD positive deer have now been found in Nothern IL, and any events that appear to lead us in this direction are of pure coincidence, for it is obvious that space aliens have abducted CWD positive deer from a CWD positive herd in Canada and relocated them to Nothern IL.

Good luck In WI.
Good save us all.

2: You make a dumbass statement like this, and have absolutly zero facts to back it up. I call you on it, and the best you can come back with is you think I have " a lot of pent up frustration" . You got one thing correct, you are confused. When your DNR gets off their butts and catches up, we' ll talk again. Pent up frustration don' t even come close to what I' m feeling these days. Half the deer I killed last year tested positve.[:' (]
