Hey, if the guy is reliable... www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2019/07/experts-call-action-chronic-wasting-diseaseMichael T. Osterholm, PhD, MPH, director of the University of Minnesota's Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP), said the paper is the first attempt at a cohesive framework for understanding CWD in America.
"In the ideal world, this prion will never escape out of the cervid population," Osterholm, the lead author, said. "We don't want to reduce hunting because it's an important part of animal management, but we want access to safe venison."

Outdoor News, Mn addition has an article where the infected deer farm , north of Bemidji, was dumping deer carcasses in the county woods. Bone marrow from the location has tested positive. There is talk of fencing acres of that area with multiple tribal, county, and state agencies being involved. Critters have scattered the deer remains over a large area.
Sounds expensive.
I wonder if the small Grygla elk herd wanders that Far East. Managing deer in cwd zone is hard. I still hope we don’t add elk to East central Mn. One discussion said that the new elk herd might wander from Duluth to Bemidji.

Kooch How far is this from your place where they found CWD?
Disease management, hunter impacts topics at Bemidji, Kelliher meetings Chronic wasting disease previously discovered in captive deer and its impacts on this fall’s deer hunting seasons in the Beltrami County area will be the focus of meetings scheduled Tuesday, Sept. 28, in Bemidji and Wednesday, Sept. 29, in Kelliher. Deer permit areas impacted this discovery are 110, the portion of 169 west of Minnesota Highway 6, 184 and 197. People unable to attend in-person can register to participate virtually in the Bemidji meeting. Both meetings are scheduled from 6-8 p.m. The first is on Sept. 28 in the commons at Bemidji High School, 2900 Division St. W. The second is on Sept. 29 in the commons at Kelliher High School, 345 4th St. NW. People planning to attend either in-person or virtually need to register and submit questions ahead of time at mndnr.gov/cwd.

Wisconsin CWD factory shipped out nearly 400 deer to 7 states. MN DNR bans farmed deer movement. Too little, too late? .... www.dnr.state.mn.us/news/2021/09/28/dnr-learns-2-minnesota-deer-farms-received-deer-cwd-positive-farm-wisconsinDNR learns of 2 Minnesota deer farms that received deer from a CWD-positive farm in Wisconsin September 28, 2021 On Monday, Sept. 27, 2021, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources learned that deer farms in Minnesota were among those that received deer from a Wisconsin farm where chronic wasting disease (CWD) was discovered in August 2021. According to a report in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the farm where CWD was detected sold nearly 400 deer to 40 farms in seven states during the past five years. The DNR contacted the Minnesota Board of Animal Health (BAH) the same day (Sept. 27) to verify the authenticity of the report. The BAH confirmed that two Minnesota deer farms had received a total of five deer from the Wisconsin farm between 2016 and 2017. It is unknown if the deer were infected when they were transferred to Minnesota. “The news that Minnesota deer farms imported deer from a Wisconsin farm infected with CWD is extremely concerning,” said DNR Commissioner Sarah Strommen. “The DNR is actively considering management responses to this latest threat to Minnesota’s wild deer.” A Stillwater, Minn. farm (now out of business) initially received two deer in 2016. The deer were transferred to a farm (now out of business) in Grand Meadow, Minn. in early 2019. The two deer were then transferred to a Wisconsin farm in late 2019. The DNR is working to determine whether those animals are still alive, or have died and were tested. A Clear Lake, Minn. farm received three deer from the Wisconsin farm in the fall of 2017. Two of those deer were killed in early 2021; CWD was not detected in them. The third deer is still alive. The owner is awaiting payment prior to making the animal available for testing. At this time, the entire Clear Lake herd is quarantined. Protecting Minnesota’s wild deer herd from CWD, an always-fatal disease, is a top priority for the DNR. The DNR will continue working aggressively on this issue. .. www.dnr.state.mn.us/news/2021/10/11/dnr-temporarily-bans-farmed-deer-movement-and-within-minnesota-protect-states-wild-white-tailed-deerDNR temporarily bans farmed deer movement into and within Minnesota to protect state’s wild white-tailed deer October 11, 2021 Emergency action will provide time to understand connections between known CWD-positive farms and identify and prevent transfer from potentially exposed herds The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has issued an emergency rule that temporarily prohibits the importation and movement of farmed white-tailed deer into and within Minnesota. This emergency action takes effect today (Oct. 11, 2021) and aims to reduce further spread of chronic wasting disease (CWD) and protect the health of Minnesota’s wild deer. The temporary ban will allow us to determine the previous movements of known CWD-exposed deer and potential additional exposures. The DNR will work thoroughly but efficiently on this effort along with the Board of Animal Health, with which it shares concurrent authority to regulate farmed white-tailed deer. The DNR asks for the full support and cooperation of the farmed deer community. The DNR is taking this action in response to the discovery that a CWD-positive farm in Wisconsin shipped 387 farmed white-tailed deer to farms in seven states, including Minnesota. Three farms in Minnesota ultimately received a total of five deer from the infected farm. “This disease poses a clear, immediate and serious threat to Minnesota’s wild deer, and these actions reflect what’s at stake,” said DNR Commissioner Sarah Strommen. “We are committed to doing everything we can to reduce the continued risk of CWD transmission in Minnesota, including from farmed deer to Minnesota’s wild whitetails.” This temporary movement ban will provide time to track the movement of deer from the infected farm and understand the potential risk to other herds. The epidemiological investigations will show connections among known CWD-exposed herds, identify if there were additional exposed herds, and prevent additional transfer from potentially exposed herds. The rule provides exemptions for deer being transported to slaughter and those being transported on a direct route through the state. As previously announced, the DNR learned on Sept. 27, 2021 that three Minnesota farms ultimately had received a total of five white-tailed deer from the infected Wisconsin farm. Two of those deer went to farms that no longer are in business, and the two animals subsequently moved back to farms in Wisconsin. The other three deer were moved to a farm in Minnesota that’s currently active. Two of those deer were killed and tested; they did not test positive for CWD. The third deer is still alive and the owner is awaiting payment prior to making the animal available for testing. The farm where this animal lives is currently under quarantine.

I do not know the owner of the deer farm last mentioned. I have a friend who knows him and he says this deer farm is a very well run farm. I hope this farmer doesn’t get too much flack, as he is complying to rules.

Every year I expect to find out the elk farm across the road has a CWD+ animal. So far that hasn't happened. Maybe he'll be the lucky one and never get a + animal

Maybe he'll be the lucky one and never get a + animal Correction: Maybe you'll be the lucky one and he never gets a + animal This area is already under CWD restrictions. No public land for many miles, so DNR sharpshooters would need to find a willing landowner to set up on. In these backwoods hills, I don't envision that happening. I suppose I could face unlimited harvest of bucks and does...that would probably suck for a number of years. People get tired of that though, I lived it already in Dane County, WI. If the elk farmer gets a positive, he'll be out of business. This township and area will also be out of tax money and other input dollars from his operation. I'm not a huge fan of farming cervids, but he has a right to make a living.

Wisconsin CWD factory shipped out nearly 400 deer to 7 states. MN DNR bans farmed deer movement. Too little, too late? Tens of thousands (if not hundreds of thousands) of deer were spread all over the united states from SW Wisconsin's endemic zone. The cat's been outta the bag for 20+ years. I'd wouldn't worry about CWD unless you're in an area with poor soil and soil practices. If you've got living humus rich soil, odds are you'll never have a problem with the deer rona. Here's the scatter plot of where all the CWD positive deer in the wild and big 4 of SW wisconsin could have ended up. Imagine this happening every year since CWD got there from the USDA creation center in Fort Collins, CO. www.wideopenspaces.com/heres-what-worries-us-about-the-latest-cwd-map/

I almost asked earlier this morning if anyone on here had actually seen a CWD deer in the wild. Got busy and moved on to a different train of thought. I'm less than a state away from ground zero for CWD. It's been there for something like 50+ years and no decimation in the deer population, and no human infections. Sometimes I wonder if the worry is more scary than the actual thing. I'm all for being cautious and doing smart things to keep something from becoming a problem but every time I hear you guys talk about sharpshooters and liberal tags I wonder what good it's doing to extinguish a population to save them from something that has done next to zero damage in another part of the country?
