    Cwd

    The provincial government has announced the harvest of 25 deer in Kootenay region where two samples tested positive for chronic wasting disease earlier this year. Wonder if they will be using helicopters and semi auto's with American or imported hunters.

    Are hunters not submitting enough of their deer to provide the data they need?

    Obviously, hunter submitted deer are not enough.
    There's no observed cases between the nearest infected area in Alberta and Montana, and those cases near Cranbrook.
    Shooting from helicopters is an eradication strategy.
    It's far too late for effective eradication of CWD.

    Re: Cwd

    Recently I documented a high number of road kill in the area of concern.
    From Dec 01 – Feb 28

    • 38 Whitetail
    • 24 elk
    • 6 mule deer

    Among other highway kills.

    In a short stretch of highway (40km) and my question is, are these animals being picked up and submitted for testing?

    Don't quote me on it, but I heard that one of the CWD positive cases was a road killed doe.

    Last year a guy whacked a doe with his truck in front of my house. Of course it had to crawl onto my property and bed down. We called the CO, put it down, and the CO came out later that day to collect the head for testing. So I would say that at least some incidental kills are being tested.

    Makes perfect sense.

    B.C. to kill 25 deer to test for chronic wasting disease in Kootenay region​

    VICTORIA — The B.C. government says it will cull 25 deer in the Kootenay region to test for chronic wasting disease. The Ministry of Water, Land and Resource Stewardship says two deer in the region tested positive for the disease earlier this year.

    The ministry says the animals will be collected in a 10-kilometre area around where the two diseased animals were found.

    It says wildlife experts will use the samples to determine if more animals have the condition, which impairs brain function.

    The province says it has recently begun mandatory testing for chronic wasting disease of any deer, moose, elk and caribou killed on B.C. roads, and it has restricted how carcasses can be transported and disposed of around the area where it was first detected.

    The ministry says it is working with the Tobacco Plains Indian Band to collect the samples, permitting the band to collect 20 mule deer and five male white tailed deer by the end of this month.

    In high populated areas the road kill is sad to see. I’ve hit 3 deer this winter and close call with a few more. There’s constantly moose deee and elk in the ditch up here
