Well most of treasure valley is in unit 38 so we would be stuck hunting the snake river with shotguns! The Lord’s and Lady’s of the greater Idaho city would enjoy splendid opportunities at Game in there unit 39

Boise is pretty liberal they’ll do great! Lines were crazy but between online purchases and everyone in my party buying a brick I got 5,000 large rifle magnum primers. Set for several years!!

Talked to a kid at the Seekins both at the western conservation expo in February. He said they set stock aside for the grand opening so the stores are full stocked when they open, he works for Scheels and they had him working with seekins. There’s a few items worth dealing with a crowd for.

Seeing the legislation get involved with draw is a sad situation. Anytime things go out side the game commission harm is done to the system. The fact that this has been so, poorly handled for multiple years the commission has no one to blame but, themselves on this issue. I think we are good on...

Probably a few more Whitetail in area, elk numbers are good. Mule deer probably holding their own? They stop letting kids have either sex mule deer during general hunt if I remember correctly. Lot of Bears in unit do a spring bear hunt to get a feel for it!

Bill just a few lines so F&G implementing could be anything! Poop show of last couple years needs to go, allowing residents like me to buy second deer and elk tags price locked after the leftover outfitter tags come up in August every year needs to go those nonresident tags should go to...

Seems like December 1st date gets more nonresident committed than a May/June draw. Draw might lead to more leftover tags. I personally picked up a second elk tag mid season in October. No need for resident draw yet! Management strategy is not in line with some of these suggestions.

Well I hike the Boise foothills a lot and range conditions are a factor. cheat grass and Skelton weed dominate a lot of areas that used to be sagebrush. This created the burn and burn again cycle that seems to have no end in sight. State and federal agencies don’t have the resources and $$ to...

The hair on both of them is too short!

Hopefully they can speed up the testing turnaround. It was a full month in December when we got results last fall. I had Colorado deer tested in 2005, 3 days to get results. deer and elk up salmon river are pretty spread out in that big country.

The gray shaded areas aren’t full of CWD!, the point I was making is there’s no way nose to nose contacted spread from Montana to Slate Creek. I agree there is so much that is unknown about how this spreads. Wisconsin kills more deer with cars than most western states do with guns. Eradicate in...

CWD is on WY and MT boarder, how does it show up in slate cr? Is there a swath of cwd across the the gospel hump, selway, and frank church? If it wasn’t a game farm, was it an infected carcass, a ranch illegally bring in a deer to add genetics to their property? I don’t see the natural...

game ranch‘s had nothing to do with that spread either just Mother Nature?

read the paper you quoted “emerging prion disease drives host selection in a wildlife population “ not Qualified to quote any of those findings either way! “Bayesian modeling “ if one is four time more likely to contract something, is the other 4x less likely? When something comes out I pay...

What study shows CWD is not always fatal?
