    Really? A few queries with a handful of my old colleagues back there strongly suggest this is bull-pucky.

    "Heard the story" OR Made it up?

    Given the extreme backlash that occurred after their last cull fiasco, I would be downright amazed were they to try that on again.
    I am not at all surprised however at their current Modus Operandii of simply issuing massive amounts of tags (and notably doe tags) in effected areas. Substantially more in some areas than ever seen before. That action is causing several outfitters I know to pull the plug - they see the writing on the wall, and understand the gov's focus on driving deer populations in those area right into the dirt. In a round-about way, a cull of sorts. Only being performed by licensed hunters, not government staff.

    As many have noted here before, there is zero evidence suggesting any correlation between baiting and the spread of CWD.

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.
    A anti with a wall of horns, how does that works?

    I like how we call for science based management..... except when it goes against something we like to do.

    Are we really that self interested that we would risk a likely transmission portal and quicker spread of CWD, to throw everything we have against the banning of baiting.

    They are all morons down in the states, no clue clue how to manage whitetail, state agencies banning baiting to help stop the spread of CWD are all idiots compared the scientific knowledge I possess.

    And yes there is evidence of baiting and CWD

    Having a WT Roast tonight for dinner......shot from my blind, bait was down the lane at 85 yards......after 8 straight days of sitting dark to dark , never leaving, took a spike out, after turning down the countless parade of deer after deer after deer....huge bucks too....oh forgot to mention bucky was shot at 35 yards.....not near the bait on last day of rifle season. Also, this eater buck was never filmed at this spot for 8 days......ya its a real killer.

    Some "elitist's" can't stand to see others having success on quality animals by a method they don't use. Pretty much what's happening here. Bownut isn't having success like he used to and refuses to adapt. Meanwhile, other hunters have dug into the playbook and are seeing positive results.

    AFAIC "hunters" that only support other hunters if they fit into their specific tunnel vision of exactly how things should be done are probably more damaging to hunting than antis are. Antis rant and rail and always will but they're not very effective and the average citizen sees right through them. Hunters calling to close all kinds of hunting techniques that don't fit exactly in to their own practices is potentially a more damaging situation. Either way I don't have any time for either group.
    its gonna take a life time to hunt and fish all this

    Bingo. Couldn't agree more.
