I hope we don't make a mistake that can't be erased.
The deer herd is already hurting!

The scary part of that article to me is no mention of the WDNR, or, you know, biologists. Just a politician and his staff...

CWD is a tough one, the infection numbers keep climbing in the main zone. There is still no links to human transmission, but does that mean we ignore it and let it go unchecked? Not controlling it in the current zone to the extent practical leaves the rest of the state at risk, though that is probably an inevitability. Very tough calls to make, and I have no idea what the real answer is. Push back toward eradication and there are great economic impacts to communities related to hunting. Do nothing and it probably continues to spread rapidly. In between may not accomplish much other than slowing the spread. Tough calls.

I heard about this... Not a fan of doing "CWD CONTROL" Its already here, can't be removed, and is most likely in every herd across the country already... Once its in the soil its here forever... There is no stopping CWD, OR CONTROLLING IT. The only thing that would stop the spread would be to kill every single deer and elk. But that would not stop CWD, that would just stop the spread. Its already here, its not a living thing so it can't be killed, and its in the soil / environment forever...
