re: Harrison County, MS CWD

Thanks

In addition, a quick review online shows one report estimate CWD costs to just the federal govt. $ was over $200 million since 2001. CWD Costs

The states have borne about the same amount.

So let’s say conservative estimate is $500 million in costs to just fed and state govts over 20 years…YET…all we have re: studies/research re:
infection to Humans is ONE study making a logic jump indicating CWD transfer/infection from venison to a primate.

I am going to do more research on this as I smell a rat in the grain re: the funds spent with inverse return.

Covid anyone??

I’m sorry, I can’t help myself. So you used to drive the 30k CanAm to the Redneck Blind, say, “get out” then get everyone comfy? Didn’t you kill on like 85% of your hunts?

It’s just like dog hunting some ppl love it some ppl hate it.

I hate the way dog hunting is now, but in its purest form, dog hunting is much more of a sport than killing a deer in a cage over a pile of corn.

Good luck. If they find a pile of corn, the green jeans will ruin your life in MS. We didn’t have anyone selling or buying corn in the whole county before it was made legal. And guess what? The deer hunting was BETTER.

Also, you need to look into a seed spreader that you can walk with. You definitely don’t need a tractor or disc to make food plots. You don’t even need herbicide or fertilizer a lot of the time. And you probably have enough food in the natural browse to maintain a population IF you maintain the habitat with thinning/burning.

You’re entire post irritates the shite out of me. Aside from the part where you said everyone needs to kill more Does. I agree there.

High fenced hunts can be challenging, but that has nothing to do with them being CWD incubators.

A day later and still no OBJECTIVE and REASONED studies have been put forth to justify this CWD enforcement nonsense by state agencies.

Yet, several on here obviously subscribe to the fear porn put out from their “trust us, we’re from the govt” folks.

There is more $ in it for govt agencies and research labs to reap from the taxpayers to keep the CWD train going.

Just like that study re: squirrel brains in KY…no proof it was squirrel brains that led to the CJKD just that they all had eaten squirrel brains, a common practice in western KY. With that info, a nationwide study would have naturally proceeded as ground breaking…yet…nothing further.

A study on monkeys linking their consumption of CWD to infected venison and then NOT ONE STUDY has been done afterwards for something that if true (primate positive=humans can also get) would be bigger than COVID as CJKD is 100 fatal!!!

If you’ve read this entire thread and don’t see this CWD nonsense for the bigger picture than I just say Lord have mercy.

You’re fooling yourself if you think this is some kind of wildlife department money grab. This is the worst nightmare of game departments.

"I think what we know now is transmission to humans is unlikely. The research combined with the epidemiology suggests there’s a strong species barrier, but it’s still better to err cautiously and don’t consume CWD positive deer," Race says.

CWD is one of a few known prion diseases. Prions are proteins that don’t fold normally.

Other known prion diseases include bovine spongiform encephalopathy, commonly known as Mad Cow Disease, and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Both have been found in humans. But another prion disease, scrapie, which infects sheep and has been around for centuries has never been shown to be transmitted to humans.

Race told the audience about three Rocky Mountain Lab studies where researchers tried to infect animals similar to humans with CWD. He says the animals exposed to high volumes of CWD didn’t show any signs of it throughout their lives. Brain scans taken after they died also revealed no signs of CWD infection.

Race says that because CWD has now been present for decades in Wyoming and Colorado and there have still been no observed cases in humans. That’s also a good sign.

"Every five to 10 year period that passes where we don’t see CWD in humans, I think we can become more and more confident that its an even stronger species barrier than we may think now."

Would you eat a deer that tested positive for CWD?

You know you wouldn’t
