There was a study doneThe bigger issue is that there are zero studies that show killing more deer will indeed cull CWD. Stupid
I'm camping up wind of your camp and we will all be eating chili beans 3 meals a day all week long!?Absolutely not, but I still think you should turn your tag in Sageman...
Nailed itAs mentioned several times above, the cwd deal is a hoax. It’s similar to covid in humans as far as the majority that have it are carriers and don’t have many symptoms and die. Only a tiny fraction more of total deer that have tested positive are bucks (which isn't significantly different than does because it is a fraction of a fraction of a %). Bucks are targeted because they move around more during the rut and have a better chance of spreading it.
In reality the tiny fraction of truly sick deer often get killed by predators and the remaining deer are pretty darn healthy. It is more or less a ploy for the cpw to sell more tags. It’s really a shame because Colorado’s trophy mule deer have been an icon throughout the Western U S since the 1990s when they started limiting all units across the state!
What I've read is that a grad student at Colo. St. Univ. and future wildlife biologist named Gene Schoonfeld {sp.?} was doing a study on mule deer and put them in an enclosure with sheep that had scrapie. It is a very similar disease that mutated a little and jumped to the deer. Schoonfeld, himself, wrote the article claiming responsibilityOk does everyone know that CWD was grown in a lab in Ft Collins in the late 70's possibly 80's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and those Deer escaped and that is where all this BS stems from? Do your research and you will find out that I am right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now these idiots want the wolves I mean how F------- Stupid can they be!!!!!!!!!
