Rest assured. I’m not searching for credibility from you or anyone else. I don’t need an ego boost or a pat on the back. I’m quite confident in who I am and where I stand. But thanks for your shallow concerns.

Nope, he is too smart for that

Any of you seen the wintering grounds where 100's of deer spend 4 months together? And you wonder how CWD could spread.
Bait piles in Alberta. Ever seen grain being transferred out of a truck into bins. Or some spillage out of a leaky hoper/truck.
Last I heard the only way to test for CWD is on a dead animal. Sad day for the deer population.

Well said. Instead of spreading fear we need to identify ALL high risk environments and put in place procedures to correct the potential problems before they become irreversible. Surely we can put aside our personal hunting preferences and keep our eyes on the bigger picture.

These are the same points I've been making since bownut started his barrage of anti-baiting threads. So many other places/reasons for deer to congregate, baiting is likely a drop of rain in the ocean...

Valid comment.

While baiting is far from a gimme and I don't think harvest off bait is very common, something tells me someone dropped a record buck off a salt lick a few hundred yards from bownut's stand

Thats a very sensitive topic. Is it cwd related? Possibly as anywhere animals congregate and turn up the earth is a factor. I’m not a baiting supporter myself. I believe it challenges the very meaning of fair chase. But that being said it is my opinion and observation.
On a positive note with cwd at our doorstep we may be lucky our populations are very low now and in the foreseeable future.

HAHA. Figure it out. I’m not easily pulled into the mud so try on someone else. You waste my time.
