[QUOTE="fairchaser, post: 4990193, member: 10373"] Ames has always been about research. When experimenting, sometimes the outcome is negative. The management has been collaborative with other experts as well as input from the membership. They will always look to the future and be willing to make the sacrifices now. Rather than allow CWD to take over completely, they are willing to take the deer herd down to a minimum to see if it can come back to a healthier state. Before CWD, the goal was to keep the herd balanced with an older buck population. That strategy was starting to work wonderfully but CWD was starting to affect the herd too and nobody knew, even the state. There were a couple years where the two things overlapped and caused the herd to shrink. Now we are dealing with the disease and the only possible solution is to shrink the herd. The same strategy as the state. It’s very painful for us deer hunters but there’s nothing we can do. [/QUOTE]
