Zero percent chance you are ever going to get rid of trophy hunting. It’s always been a part of deer hunting. Always will be!
Wishing it goes away, would be like me wishing I can buy a level Sandy beach lake lot in Minnesota for $25,000.

Hunters , taxidermists, and game processors probably have also been responsible.

It’s just a part of deer hunting now. Minnesota solution is to kill the deer, before they die from CWD ! 🙄

When first I saw the deer in a scrapie pen article, I’ve had one question. If CWD and scrapie are so similar, how are there any sheep left? Is scrapie always fatal? I guess that’s two questions. There are strains of sheep with resistance. There has also been extensive testing by some breeders. The article does briefly mention thweis. Just watched a podcast where the owner of Wilderness Whitetails a deer farmer that raises trophy whitetail that had 60 percent cwd infected deer to 0 percent infected by breeding deer with a cwd resistance gene.

I think Batman made some mention of that before he decided to bail on us.
Seems like if Cwd ran rampant through a population, those that are resistant would be left and the herd would be stronger in the long run.

It seems like I read somewhere that researchers were trying to determine what types of resistance was out there and if it prevented infection, just slowed the progression of the disease or hid the signs of disease.

I've come to the conclusion that nature will eventually "cure" CWD. Deer are incredible animals. They can survive in extreme environments. I doubt CWD will "wipe out" whitetail deer. Now, state DNRs....they could wipe them out if they wanted.

In the podcast he did say that the deer were resistant but could still get cwd. and part of the concerns were if the resistant deer would spread the disease for longer periods versus normal deer.

how long has CWD been present in the west? over 50 years now? Or at least as long as humans have known about it?
