    The CWD epidemic is still growing...

    Does not look good for BC. The disease is likely to cross the rock pile... http://www.northlandoutdoors.com/201...qjWtdDFrdGzFvY

    I have been giving this site the heads up for how long?
    This is why more States and provinces don't allow baiting anymore.

    OH NO I SAID THE 'B' WORD!

    I may get time in the box.........

    I guess deer never eat or drink from the same natural food sources or puddles then huh? The baiting thing was pushed by antihunters first and they just used the CWD to further it. Has there actually been any scientific evidence of transfer from bait vs natural or even agricultural? I would think stagnant ponds/puddles would be far worse as during the warmer months they'd likely be ideal temps for all kinds of stuff to live/thrive in. Guess we shouldn't allow farmers to put out water or salt blocks for the cattle then, or even store their hay outside either, as deer use all of these regularly and they are far more abundant than the odd bait pile that maybe 10% of hunters use.

    Interesting that the main outbreaks are centered around deer farms.

    Sounds a lot like the scrapie outbreak in sheep in the UK, that lead to BSE/Mad Cow Disease in cattle that was caused by feeding cattle with protein rich pellets that were made from sheep parts and if I recall correctly the government changed the rules and allowed the mixture to be treated at a lower temperature than previously to save costs.

    Still waiting on the CWD results from the mule deer I shot in Alberta in Nov. The area we hunting is a hot spot for CWD. It’s a huge problem, and we need to do everything we can to slow it down.

    Do everything you can to keep it out of BC (if it's not already there).

    It's getting worse and worse, here in Alberta.
