I think I am going to make a sign. NO HUNTING / Private Land. Turn Back. VIolaters will be prosecuted. ......and place it prior to my land. Gonna ask some neighbors to let me put it up 1/2 mile up the road. After 12 years of working my fanny off on my land to make it a good property.......this CWD shit comes along and threatens hunting for the rest of my lifetime. Damn. Pretty pissed about this right now. I’ve got an uncle just inside the line by Emily. I haven’t heard his thoughts on it yet, but I’m guessing he ain’t thrilled either. That shit’s gonna scoop up my zone in another year or two as well.

Not sure how this all plays out yet. But if this is the new reality......I see little need to live here anymore. Screw it.....I only got so many years......and this state has not been kind to me in any way.
I guess I have already voted with my feet......my new home in OZ is looking good. And with the money I save in taxes I can hunt any place in the world I like. Minnesota is just plain stupid.....and they are driving the taxpayers away. When your taxpayers are gone.....who you gonna fleece next? I'd be willing to wager that 1/2 of the folks living around my lake are NON-RESIDENTS. Why? Taxes drove them to other states. STOOPID.

Where I hunt up north is about 8 miles out of the CWD zone. I had been hoping for 10-15 years before CWD would be a problem there. I suspect regulations will hit that area within two or three years.
Thanks to a deer farm and poor regulations from our state on depopulation of an infected premise.

Foggy-I’ve been preaching the tax issue for years. Why do you think Fargo and Sioux Falls are booming. Florida and AZ are full of former MN residents. It’s just crazy. Beautiful state, love the lakes here, but it’s leadership is simply awful.
Going to South Dakota today to look at some land for my son, that could be a future home too ... 0 state Taxes.

And then you look at how our state taxes are spent... disgusting. Not enough oversite of how the money is spent. Where could we get an Attorney General to track those things down?

Add us to that group that will change residency when we retire. As a producer there is no benefit to staying in Minnesota.

At my old place land owners could deer hunt (rifle, shotgun, bow, crossbow, whatever legal weapon of your choice) from mid September until the end of March.
The last time I talked to my buddy who lives a few miles from my old place, he said there were more deer now than there were before CWD hit. He had a couple bucks pushing 150 hanging around his back yard.
The key to CWD regs is that deer hunters need to ignore them. Just keep hunting the way you always did before

This is our plan......and I think our neighbors are on board with this too. Private land will likely be OK.....but having public land nearby would be the Schmitz. Maybe what Stu says above needs to be the new slogan for MDDI?

Just keep hunting the way you always did before Wisconsin abandoned their kill them all CWD regs. I dont think this state will ever let off the gas - especially if we go blue in 2020. I think latitude and mix of ag/woods has a lot to do with what the herd can handle. I dont believe the 604 can handle the pressure. When I was on stakeholder teams every party voted for 50% increases in 247, and 2 guys from soil and water (yes 2 guys of 16 were from crow wing soil and water queered it for a zero. When you look at the harvest designations around 604 its mostly one deer allowed. - the 604 will see landowner hunts and sharpshooters in Jan feb and possibly March. I dont think the odds of surviving the new regs that far north in the big woods setting with predators are as good as they are further south in ag country.

Did you know that you can still shoot 5 deer in MN outside the 600 zones. You can shoot 3 in intensive and then 2 in managed or one in lottery/hunters choice and one a managed zone.

This seems the attitude on the forums etc. Public land guys talk about meat and what's legal. Private land guys are looking too manage for a quality experience.

Deer hunters in WI said "enough". Will deer hunters in MN do the same? Who knows. Bottom line is that deer hunters have all the power when it comes to deer management. Will MN deer hunters ever wake up and figure that out?
