it might take a lot longer to bounce back if the federal sharpshooters find a few neighbors that let them sit over January corn piles after the Amish slaughter

That's game over for planet earth. Deer eat soybeans and poop in the field. Soybeans take up CWD. Soybeans made into oil for McDonalds. McDonalds cooks fries in CWD prion bath. All who have eaten McDonalds fries...

OK. Let’s each say that you are the new deer czar in Minnesota. What should be done about CWD if you got to make the decisions?
No BS, just what should be done.

No clue. Glad its not my job.
I know one thing. I sure as hell wouldnt ear any deer if we were in a cwd area without testing them.

I have pretty much accepted a few things as fact on the disease. 1. A few spontaneous cases may have occurred through time, but most of it has spread from a research facility in Colorado in the 1960’s. 2.hunters have spread the disease. 3. Deer and elk farms have spread the disease. 4. Taxidermists and perhaps renderers have spread the disease.
So, what do we do?

To cure the disease, we would need to study it. What causes it? How does it move? Ect. Like any other diseae. This would require funding and good scienctific methods. No plotical or social agenda. None of which will be done by the state of MN. That being said, i would use a controlled lab environment, deer farms to conduct experiments and isolate the variables.

I think we know two things. 1. It can be in soil for years and still infect deer. 2. Deer can pas it between each other as well as elk and moose.
Who knows how far a wolf, eagle, crow or blue jay can carry it.

Is there a way to see how many hunters were prosecuted or ticketed for bringing whole deer carcasses into our state this fall?

1 - stop lying to the public.
2 - admit when we can not access the hot spots our efforts are pissing in the wind
3 - admit the path MN is on has been tried in 20 some states and fails every time
4 - admit there is no viable long term strategy
5 - acknowledge that genetic resistance or vaccines may be an end tool that should be researched
6 - fund the private industry that is searching for a solution - Deer Farmers.
I don't think the government wants to solve CWD. I think it is a great tool for reducing deer numbers all across the country. The North American Wildlife programs were started when animals had been hunted to the brink of extinction. Bison, elk, whitetail, turkey, passenger pigeon etc. Everybody said if the hunters want to fund the comeback rip it up - the rest of us don't really give a shit. Fast forward 100 + years and those same animals are so abundant they are a pain in the ass to everybody but a tiny fraction of the population. Hunters.
More and more private groups like white buffalo are secretly entering agreements with municipalities to kill hundreds of deer from urban areas. Sharpshooters are hired to correct problems. City police departments are hunting deer. Wolves are protected. Grizzly protected. Deer are blamed for lyme disease, CJD, moose declines, forest succession. Hunter efforts can be replaced with other tools.
Cornicelli has changed the economic impact of deer in MN from $1.3 billion to $500 million since 2014. Hunter dollars are minimal. Cornicelli wants the economic impact taken out of the discussion.
I think hunting as we know it is almost dead. Whose gonna stop it?
