    Yes, it is a necessity to monitoring for the disease.
    But this does absolutely nothing to prevent or slow the introduction and spread of the disease into BC from the south.

    The only management practice that has shown to reduce the spread and infection rate of CWD is to lower game densities.

    Sadly, BC needs to be getting serious about CWD at its door and do more than monitor for the disease.
    BC needs to reduce deer populations along the border.

    No, you can still keep the cape and skull cap with the antlers. A European mount might be more problematic. There are two info sessions at the library in Cranbrook tomorrow, August 13. One is at 2PM and the other at 5 PM. This question could be asked there.

    Attended the early info session today at 2:00. Some good information provided. Definitely some challenges as could be expected with multiple ministries, jurisdictions and good old fashioned politics playing a role.

    Will be very interesting to see how this plays out.

    Yes, Likewise. Some good information on hand. I'm sure the awareness campaign will keep ramping up. At this point the only 'change' is the mandatory submission of the heads and what happens when I want my head back. Sounded like hunters might not have to give up the euro mount. Priority one is to keep monitoring the encroachment of CWD.

    I had a meeting with the Provicial Health Biologist heading the CWD file last weekend. We asked her about submitting a sample that you wanted to keep for a euro mount. She said that it is the lymph glands in the neck that is what gets taken. Not the brain. All the samples are collected at a designated facility and the heads can then be returned to the owner. It is preferred that the antlers are removed because space can become an issue at the collection facility, but if you have a special trophy arrangements might be made.
