    Thats the problem in BC, we haven't evolved much.
    Read the post that the BCWF has on this site it pretty much says it all.

    Oh and if any one including Curly wants to learn a little about the transmission process instead of living with their heads up the A...ses.
    feel free.

    When I heard the story, I started looking into the CWD process on when it gets this bad. Seems to add up, I guess all we can do is watch.

    Bownut,

    Thanks for the reponse to my pm.

    This is a very serious issue that deserves accurate information.
    This is no place for rumours or crying wolf.

    Please clarify your claim of "another big cull WILL happen this year".

Hence about 6 anti-baiting threads etc he's started now. As I've stated in other threads by him, bait stands in BC don't work the way he thinks in his little head (10s or 100s of deer don't come a running from miles around, the deer that are already there won't even go out of there way by 50 yards) and the few people who do it aren't contributing squat compared to all the other "attractions" out there. My guess would be less than 1% compared to natural sources of food/water, planted alf-alfa or hay fields, salt licks for cattle, etc. This is also reflected by the fact that several provinces/states have had bait bans for a long time and yet CWD is still spreading in all of them.

    My thoughts exactly. I rarely click on links but I NEVER click on a link that would take me to that rag.

    Re: CWD Update

    Can we have one thread where we don't call each other "anti's"?

    We all love hunting.


    There's a few options being looked at in Alberta. All can have their positives and negatives. A cull (given the size of the area now, and the public backlash the last time they tried) doesn't seem a likely move to me. But I really hope they can get a handle on this.

    He also has promoted them as pred pits, which is nonsense.
    Agenda driven, no facts, just endless sniping.
