[QUOTE="fairchaser, post: 5212211, member: 10373"] I agree with some of this LBLman. I don’t like conspiracy theories. However, there is a political aspect to everything . Why waste a good disease like CWD right? I think the TWRA is under pressure to do something rather than conclude that nothing will matter in the long run. If they slow the spread even marginally, they buy some time for a cure. If they do nothing, the areas that are clean now will sqwalk for action. It’s a clear no win. At Ames, I’ve seen first hand the difference in the deer herd. We have plenty of deer but the bucks are clearly younger animals. You can’t even get a pic of a 4.5 year old buck anymore. The last three deer I’ve killed were all positive. The infection rate is high. Several dead heads have been found by bow hunters. Since the season opened, we’ve killed a total of three does, two of which are positive. How many hours of hunting from a membership of 50 hunters to kill three deer? For those who think CWD isn’t real need to come on out to Ames and sit in a stand for several days and see very little if anything. [/QUOTE]
