There is another CWD positive deer in the Brainerd Lakes area. Testing and feeding/ scent bans will continue for 3 more years.
If anyone has a link to the exact location, I would be interested.

Thanks. Eight miles from the other positive in a yearling buck, per your link.

Thanks. Eight miles from the other positive in a yearling buck, per your link. Sounds like they've reached half of the state for the feeding ban. Now that I think of it, I didn't measure the distance of Bob's suet cage from the ground. They are really slow rolling this thing. I thought we'd be halfway to on-demand unlimited tags by now. I'm still getting my tongue pulled out my b-hole by non-resident license costs.

From what I read, this was based on western states and did not specify mule deer or Whitetails.

Might as well just kill them all like WI tried since it worked so good. Like COVID, it's here to stay and you'll just have to learn to live with it.

Don't feel like going through all that work just to throw it out. Guys we know that are close to ground zero say about 50% test positive.

Was the Grand Rapids deer found outside MDHA hq? That would be sort of funny. Our cabin is in that affected zone. We have a bat shit crazy neighbor who's been feeding deer year round for 15-20 years. She puts an orange collar on her favorite as we've seen it while hunting. I was guessing ground zero was her place. Looks like tag allotments will be increasing and she'll lose some of her pets. Bet it will be good eatin' though;)

2 of 44 MN deer ‘found dead’ tested cwd positive this year. That’s almost 5%.

"New research shows that swallowed ticks could spread chronic wasting disease in wild deer Healthy deer may be swallowing prion-laced deer ticks during social grooming according to research by university scientists in Minnesota and Wisconsin. By Tony Kennedy Star Tribune June 22, 2023 — 10:06am Jeff Wheeler, Star Tribune Ongoing research into the spread of chronic wasting disease (CWD) in whitetail deer has identified a tiny new piece of the puzzle: ticks. University scientists from Wisconsin and Minnesota discovered single deer ticks (aka blacklegged ticks) in the wild, taken off the heads of CWD-infected deer, with enough disease-causing prions inside of them to spread the disease. Hypothetically, a healthy deer could accidentally swallow one of those tainted ticks during social grooming, said Stuart Lichtenberg of the Minnesota Center for Prion Research and Outreach at the University of Minnesota. "There's lots of work yet to prove it," Lichtenberg said. "But it's far more likely to happen that way than coming from a tick bite." The study's proven breakthrough is that a deer tick can fill itself with an infectious dose of prions while feeding on the blood of a CWD-infected deer in a natural setting. Those misformed proteins — also known for causing other neurodegenerative diseases — can be ingested and excreted by ticks, largely unchanged, the researchers found. If continued research proves that prion-carrying ticks are causing CWD in wild deer, Lichtenberg said wildlife officials might look for ways to reduce tick loads in the wild. "We think this might be one part of the answer," he said. As an environmental toxicologist, Lichtenberg is well aware of other research into the possible inhalation by deer of prion-contaminated soil or of deer eating contaminated plants. "We still don't have great answers of how it is spread in the wild," he said. The tick study was led by Heather Inzalaco at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where Lichtenberg previously worked. They first determined in the lab that ticks can carry an infectious dose of prions by feeding on blood from brain tissue taken from CWD-positive deer. For part two, they relied on 174 tick-infested deer heads collected during hunting season by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. Fifteen of those deer tested positive for CWD and researchers found prions in six groups of ticks taken from the infected deer. They then quantified the amount of prions in the ticks and found as much as 10 infectious doses in a single tick. The full study was published last month in Nature Scientific Reports.
