Just putting this out there.
I watched that video the other day. What is your point for putting it out
I wasn't trying to be a smart azz just wondering if maybe I'd missed something important in the video. Plenty of folks on here have had deer test positive for CWD.No point or agenda to putting it out there.
I wasn't aware that you had already seen it last week. You don't have to watch it again. But, if someone else wants to watch it, it's there for them to watch.

This place makes some good points, especially with the DNA testing for CWD resistant bloodlines.
Take it with a grain of salt of course, but the fact that they are testing the heck out of their deer, after just one positive, and no other deer tested positive. Again, take it with a grain of salt but he does make some good points.Deer Farming Channel... deer farming has undoubtedly accelerated the spread of CWD across the country. They have a lot to lose (or gain) by trying to discredit the current best science (granted, it's pretty limited) on the subject. At best they are going to shape the truth to present their industry to cast themselves as the savior of deer we do desparately need- can we really trust the captive wildlife industry to solve a problem caused by captive wildlife meddling?
They have a lot more to gain by marketing a "resistant" deer than an actual CWD-proof animal if such a thing ever existed.

I take anything from a deer farmer with more salt than TDOT put down on I-40 this weekTake it with a grain of salt of course, but the fact that they are testing the heck out of their deer, after just one positive, and no other deer tested positive.

Correction- they aren't trying to save face, they are trying to profit off itDeer farming created this mess, so now they're trying to save face. Sorry, I know who is responsible for the spread of CWD.

I've heard 20 people say that but none of them will say.Deer farming created this mess, so now they're trying to save face. Sorry, I know who is responsible for the spread of CWD.
