Bruh..... come on. Are you also going to stop licking branches? Are you going to police scrapes? Are you going to make sure that all of the deer have their own separate watering hole? Are you going to push for masks for deer during the rut?

AGAIN, CWD has been around since forever.

I was born and raised in Louisiana and hunted the swamps of Bayou Blue and Schriever, also hunted in Arcadia and right outside of Natchitoches. The number one thing that causes lower populations in the state of Louisiana is the if its brown it's down mentality. The club that my family and I hunted at in Arcadia had a member that shot his 6th deer of the year, it was a button buck that the balls hadn't even dropped yet, and the dude didn't even eat deer meat. This does more damage to the population than CWD.

Do ANY of those concentrated dozen of mouths into a 2' circle for months? No, of course they don't. And this is why the state has involved itself in this shite and will undoubtedly make everything worse.

I’m not worried about CWD killing some deer. I am worried about myself eating a deer with CWD.

I know there has t been any cases yet but guaranteed if I offer any of you some deer meat from a CWD positive deer, you aren’t eating it either

No, no it's not. It is a prion disease that affects cervids, cervids have been inhabiting the earth for roughly 20 million years, i would call that forever.

It's caused by a mutated/misfolded protein, pretty sure the cervids of 20 million years ago were comprised of protein, and look, they are still inhabiting the earth.

Do you not see what this is? As long as it's an "issue" there will be funding and these agencies that make a living 'studying' or 'combatting' these issues. The more of an issue it is, the more funding it will get.

That would require a ban on coonasses

In terms of deer hunting, the biggest outlaws I have known lived in north Louisiana, in the Minden Area (actually in Sarepta). Neither would ever get a hunting license and one of them had killed 14 deer that season when I was working up there and said he wasn't done yet.

I have not hunted since shortly after high school, life kind of got in the way, and I never picked it back up, but there were more deer in that area when I was working up there (Cotton Valley area in the mid/late 90s) than I have seen almost anywhere else. They also seem to vanish when hunting season started like the had a calendar or something

Have you had every deer you've ever killed tested? I'm 44, I've probably killed 150 deer in my life. Chances are I've eaten my fair share of venison that had some disease. The only precautions I take are watching for ticks when skinning, I am much more concerned with lime disease then I am with CWD.

Also, if you bring your deer to these big deer processing places, you have no idea what deer you are getting back and what disease it may have had.

I’ll shoot any sickly deer, tag it, but won’t eat it. I also don’t want to know, if it looks healthy, we’ll eat it.

Steve Rinella had a interesting scenario he talked about on the podcast. With as much deer and venison he's consumed he can all but guarantee he's more than likely consumed CWD meat. But the question he asked is would I consume meat from a known positive?

If CWD hasn't jumped to bovids yet, the likelihood of it jumping to primates seems very low.

Ok, you win. Its been around millions of years. Were deer confined to their current range and eating out of corn piles?

They haven’t posted the meeting minutes yet. But it was never a statewide ban, just discussing an expansion of the banned area.

I don’t have any work to prove, what he is saying is as long as the CWD is around and people are making a fuss about it. The departments studying it keep there job and get all kind of grant money etc.
Look at Covid for example. Doctors offices were getting paid for every positive Covid test.

And the reason the state is doing anything about CWD is to cover there butt. They don’t have any clue what they are doing about it, neither does anyone else.
There is no cure, feed bans will not stop the spread.
If it blows up and does get bad in LA, they can say well we tried to put a feed ban in place to slow it down, to cover there tail. Other than that it’s all for show.
How do I know this? I know people inside the LDWF, personal friends and that is what I was told.

So, F it. Its all over with, so let's keep piling corn up.

What in the hell do we lose by cutting out corn piles?

Its spread deer to deer via spit swapping.

Yall STILL don't understand why feeding deer piles of corn might not be a good idea? It's all risk no reward. Quit doing it.
