[QUOTE="7mmWSM, post: 5823059, member: 17342"] You’re the first I’ve heard say they see a lot of buzzards on their farm. I think more deer die from EHD then CWD. Again has ANYONE found a deer that died from CWD? Not a deer that tested positive after it was killed. I mean one that was found dead and then tested? We have over 2,000 acres that’s very very close to Ames and it’s covered with deer. We have a lot of foodplots with corn that does attract deer this time of year. Sure we’ve killed some that tested positive but didn’t die from CWD. I have a good friend that owns and leases twice as much as us that joins Ames and down the road from them. They’re covered with deer and no dead ones. We’ve both talked about the lack of buzzards nor bones piles. We shed hunt every bit of all the places with other farms as well. We hardly ever find a dead deer or deadhead. I assure you hunters and farmers are killing more than CWD. In response to Ames I feel like theirs is self inflicted. Ames has always kill the does way down. But don’t take my word for it ask any of them. Allan Houston has decimated the does for years and years by forcing the hunters to kill so many. Even as far as to threaten the hunters that weren’t shooting them. That right there drops your herd numbers down when done continuously over the years. Also Ames allows the hunters now to kill any legal buck there. Spikes or whatever. Also just about statewide deer sightings are down. That’s not CWD so explain that to me. Our biggest issue in Fayette county is a 3 month gun season, 3 does a day, and farmers killing as many as they want with no limit. Oh and the depredation permits to hunt til the end of March which is pretty sad to call yourself a hunter and do that. So my response is if you want an easy way out blame it on CWD. But if your really concerned look at everything that’s been going on for years around here. [/QUOTE]
