Thread: New Cases of CWD found in Arkansas counties .

We do know this:
This disease has no cure and is contiguous...The AGFC has some tough decisions to make that will not be popular to deer hunters. I really do think they should put a stop to artificial feeding for a few years to help stop the spread. I will bet my best shinny nickle that if they stop artificial feeding, the cases of CWD will drop drastically. But hey tha'ts my 2cents

I lived most of my life in Illinois and feeding has never been allowed up there and they have CWD in a big way, in a few counties. I hunted several of the those counties extensively and am sure I consumed many a deer with CWD...

I certainly do Bobby! I hope when the spring of 2018 gets here, I still remember which end of the pole I'm supposed to hold!

If so I'll help you through your rehab.

It will spread no doubt, if hunters aren't allowed to control the population then nature will do the job for us. Mississippi has a population of 1.8 million to 2.5 million deer (depending on the source). Take the restrictions off doe harvesting or prolong the overall season period. Never hear a peep about blue tongue, but CWD is all the rage now, keep us all in panic. From what I understand most game and fish officials are hand tied by politics, go figure. Too many animals rights groups out there that would love to see hunting and fishing ended in general. Now mind you, these are the same people that say "why harm animals when you can buy meat and fish at the grocery store, where an animal never suffered".. Lol.

Hunters and fisherman are the true conservationist in this world, the others are to feeble minded to realize it..
