I can't believe the DNR put out that early report with no CWD found. Geez.....that's a special kind of stupid. Grrrrrr

I’m near the border of 603. Thankfully (for me) all positives have been West of the original ground zero. I’m praying it stays that way, Eastward expansion will be catastrophic for my program. I was in 603 yesterday & today. Saw very few hunters. I think one of the earlier posters got it right about the DNR spreading the consumption alerts, turning a lot of venison eaters off.

The DNR notes that the buck harvest was nearly double the antlerless harvest in permit 603 — which is south of Winona County and includes the cities of Whalen, Preston and Lanesboro — despite unlimited antlerless tags being available, which doesn’t bode well for the deer removal efforts.

I saw that. I really hope this whole plan implodes right in front of them

Why would anyone shoot a doe? You've supposedly got in a chance of getting tainted meat that we've been told will infect us with a degenerative brain disease. They should be happy any does were shot at all.

My buddies daughter has been doing lymph node sampling for the DNR in Preston. I think it’s a college project. According to her, the number of positives is now 15. 👎

It's shocking cwd would be found in a captive deer herd here now. Almost as surprising as when there are reports of deer escaping deer farms.

Deer are only tested when they're dead so if the deer has been there for a year or more I'm not too surprised they found one. Hopefully it didn't spread to the wild (yes I'm insinuating it didn't originate outside the farm).

I wonder where all that farm shipped/sold possibly CWD infected deer? Hopefully none to Todd County

I don't have a biology degree, but I'll go out on a limb and say disease is more likely to be found in pens where there are 500 deer per square mile than in the wild where there are 25 deer per square mile. not to mention that farms ship deer in from hundreds of miles away where diseases may be present. What a bunch of crap.
