    Re: CWD Update

    I did say it was 2nd hand news.
    So somewhere my friend believed that is was in BC, although I was telling her no.
    But then again, she was the one was listening and had left a message on my phone to listen.
    I caught up to her later that day when she told me that.
    Just coincidence that here we are discussing cwd the past few weeks and this radio broadcast my friend listen to coming
    on, right at the time that there was debate as to if it was here in bc or not.

    So, my apologies.....was just trying to pass along a recent event.

    Re: CWD Update

    Just wanted to say.
    Even thru all the back forth on this thread, I have to admit I know more now about CWD then I did before this thread
    started.
    I am sure a more members who took the time to read did as well.

    Saw a FB topic sent to me last night on cwd in the states, next to Idaho, who have cwd.
    Hate to say this but if Idaho gets it, then I can see Washington State and us getting the problem very easily.

    1 good point they made is that hunters can and do help keeping the disease to a minimum thru hunting.
    (that's 1 for the good guys!)
    BUT, I was surprised to learn that if a hunter gets an infected deer, they are to dispose of it by taking it to the
    local dump!!???
    Shouldn't these critters be better off incinerated??
    Mind you, I can see myself in the middle of downtown Vancouver in the courtyard of my condo with a "burn barrel" going!

    So that brings up a couple of questions, hypothetically speaking.
    What are we to do if we are found in possession of an infected deer with cwd?
    How do we dispose of it?
    And, will CO's allow us to dispatch a deer on the grounds that it was showing real signs of cwd?
    That might be a slippy slope, but holds merit as well...or not?

    I don't think they will ever allow you to dispatch an animal for any reasons
    Years ago I was hunting bear and found a young bull moose covered in ticks and suffering he never moved for two days
    I talked to a co about it asked him if I could put him down
    he told me straight out "NO" and would charge me if I did
    That bull suffered for two more days and died
    co never came out to see it !

    Re: CWD Update

    Heres a link for BC:
    https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/e...asting-disease
    There is a map to show the latest areas infected.
    Also a pdf on BC testing so far.

    One thing, they have tested just under 4000 heads.
    But, this is an accumulation since 2002 til 2017.
    There isn't that much testing going on yearly, imo.
    Only 224 heads were sampled in 2017.
    Most they did test in a year was 350 heads.

    Cant find any info on "disposing of infected creature" however?
    And for dispatching and infected deer, looks like hunters have to report it, but cant do it themselves and then report.

    In the cases I am aware of in BC relating to deer / meat that has been harvested in Alberta then brought back home by BC hunters, the Alberta Fish & Wildlife inform not only the hunter the deer tested positive, but also the local BC CO Office as well. The latter then make arrangements to either pick up, or have the meat dropped off to them asap. By coincidence I discussed a case of just that occurrence this very morning with a hunter whose Alberta Mulie tested Positive. It is then incinerated.

    And, will CO's allow us to dispatch a deer on the grounds that it was showing real signs of cwd?

    Nope. Report asap, but don't take them matters into your own hands unless specifically directed to do so.

    Cheers,

    Re: CWD Update

    thanks Bugle for the link to the alternate theory on the cause of CWD....it also made me think of the two researchers on H pylori down under and how even to this day on some scientific issues "99% consensus" can still turn out to be 99% wrong...

    Re: CWD Update

    Curious where RobU went after making bold comments despite endless quantified information being available to anyone who cares to look?
    Why all the confrontation and rumor mongering when 20 mins of research can get a guy up to speed?
    Interesting.
