So in the middle of rut, you have to go chop your food plots?

Fairly certain how wet it is and how the rut is going for you is the least thing on their mind when protecting a deer herd statewide.

Could it be from the imported feed from the Midwest?

Food plots are an industry. The blow back will be massive.
Many properties couldn’t get a tractor to a field in December if they wanted to. They’d sink tractors.
MDWFP doesn’t have the manpower to do all that. I’ll call it now. It won’t happen. Baiting will probably end, though.

It could be, but probably isn’t. The feed I see is from within a couple hundred miles or closer.

I definitely foresee banning feeding but the food plot thing is a little absurd.

What if they find prion concentrations? Do they have a contingency plan in place for that outcome? Soil sampling in the affected area is going to boom but who will admit they have the prions on their property?????????

I see nothing that would keep those prions from floating down the Miss and landing in deer rich areas all along the floodplain...

Would not have been even remotely possible this year. I highly doubt this food plot idea is legitimate.

This shite is spreading and tilling food plots is asinine.

Work on a cure or just let nature manage it over the next 20 years

Could it be something to thin down the deer herds?

I was referring to it landing here via the river, not really anything due to food plots.

Infected deer dies in Wisconsin, prions drop into the soil, perhaps attached to very buoyant deer hair.......said hair lands in Madison Parish...

Fall "food plot" only areas. No spring and summer plots. Have to be tilled under by last day of December cant plant before first day of Sept with approval tag.


Some of the shite the MDWPF comes up with is amazing.

Yeah that ain’t happening!

House Bill 768 authored by Rep. Becky Currie, R-Brookhaven, would have made sweeping changes for deer hunters in Mississippi in an effort to slow the spread of chronic wasting disease. It has too many changes and comes too soon for House Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks Committee Chairman Scott Bounds, R-Philadelphia.

While I want to try and stop this, I can totally see Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks getting $$$ eyes and requesting a few hundred million from the US Department of the Interior for funds for this problem. In the end, MS WFP agents will have all new "state" F350's, Side-by-sides, helicopters, a Lear 45 (you know, to get from South MS to North MS in a reasonable amount of time), tri-screw Regulators 35 foot boats, $300/hr overtime pay, etc etc etc...and we will still have CWD.

If they did all that crap, no one would follow it and the donations from the rich hunters on the river would dry up quickly

Get ready boys. Soon you'll be able to go to Mississippi, buy a license over the counter and go kill as many of them as you want. Seems to be how state agencies are handling the problem.

That's proven not to work. The only saving grace will be a cure/vaccine, until then prepare for it to spread everywhere.
