True that. Ya see you still fail to tell me why one animal or one product can move but not the other? All in the name of fighting the same disease??? Care to tell the class what these strict and burdensome rules are for sheep farmers??? I will continue to wait another 10 years for your answer because you will never come up with something that does not exist. Fairly strict for just the one animal but total shut down of the other animal. All in the name of fighting the same disease?? You don’t have to try and change my mind over anything. How about just an answer to these questions with something of some kind of sense?? We will continue to wait. In the meantime while you run from a ghost can you show any damage to animal or man from the last 60 years of chasing their tail? And last but not least. These rules harm the everyday deer Hunter as much or even more then any deer farm in CWD positive states. And now we wait.

Well. After 60 years of CWD in deer and lord knows how many years of Scrapies in sheep which is the same prion and lack of any animal die off’s or human issues of any kind common sense says we are in pretty good shape. They continue to get handed millions of dollars to do research on what? The same exact stuff over and over. I agree if it ever was an issue I would be all for the research and such. But to only use the prion scare when it involves deer and we never hear a word about the Scrapies cases there is a problem and points to an agenda. Just like hunters can’t bring deer back from a CWD positive state dead or alive but can bring sheep all across the country? Problem!! Can’t bring a deer head across lines but can haul all the corn and alfalfa you want from CWD positive states after this research has 100% shown that the CWD prions travel up and into these products from the soil? Problem!! Again just follow the $$$$ and you will get many answers.

The population dwindles because they bait and shoot all the deer looking for the harmless crap. The Wisconsin herd has rebounded after the kill off and with CWD to having more animals and they are still positive.

Exactly. If there were even remotely proof that the stuff killed animals it would be one thing. The Prions are the same exact Prions found in Scrapies in sheep and we have been living with that for the last 60 years without all the banter. The white coats found a way to get funding to get their paycheck and then the DNR of some states found an opening to try and use it against high fence. Didn’t Work. Just like anything else, if there is no demand then the product will fail. Well high fence grows yearly with people making great $$$. Now my other question is where is all the studies done on EHD that 100% kills 1000’s of deer yearly and they can be found littered across the countryside by the 100’s yet no testing or no white coat funding for that. That’s in part because they can’t come back at all on high fence for it so it stays silent. Just open your eyes, use common sense the good lord gave ya and you will come up with the answers on just what CWD isn’t !!

So if that’s your line of thinking what’s your answer to all the states that have no deer behind fence yet have it in the wild in the last 60 years? Or the states that have had fenced deer for years and years and have never had a case but have had it in the wild for just as many years? You do realize the first cases of it were wild deer? Not fenced. Regardless CWD is now and has always been a political money grab. CWD has done no harm to any herds in any states ever. You don’t see mass die off of animals like you do the real deer killer in EHD. Ever. CWD will go by the way of Covid here very soon when the federal government stops handing out money for these white coats to keep researching the same thing over and over and coming up with nothing. You want to see some info. Google how much money goes to states for CWD issues and then ask yourself where that kind of money goes. An easy look of the stupidity is the state of Wisconsin. When they found it and went absolutely nuts and they killed off almost the whole herd because of a couple cases. Saying that CWD would be the end all of their herds. Well don’t ya know. The herds rebounded in a matter of 5 years to twice as many animals then they had at kill off time. And with CWD. Go on a hunting site in that state and read how many hunters never ever got their deer tested. And they are not walking zombies. Maybe look at the state of Oklahoma that now allow private land owners to buy and release farmed deer onto their no fence property to improve their deer size and genetics. After 60 plus years and what CWD itself has shown people exactly what it’s not doing to deer anywhere I’m amazed it’s ever even talked about anymore anywhere. I believe when those leading our government today see they wasted money going on there CWD will be a thing of the past pretty soon. Go Trump!!!

My guess is they will take as many permits….. If it’s even legal… as they can from those that don’t recert. I think a person could fight that take if they had the $$$ means. If I were them I would just do it but be ready for something stupid. Or this could just be a ploy to scare us and to get us legal type to step in line and give them all the info they want. After all it’s the legal pistol owner that takes all the bullshit in this Democratic ran state.

Yup. Did mine last month. They are not going to remind anyone. So Stupid!

Got a text from our Nextdoor neighbor last week saying there were are 40-50 timing the fields around the farm. Of course with the park right there the Highbanks Road is never short on numbers.

Always wanted to do a hunt up in the wilds of Canada somewhere for a big chocolate horned beast in late winter. One of those box blind cold weather sittings.

Man that is cool. You have a pile of them out there. And all that daytime movement. That screaming in the middle of the night could make some hairs stand up.

Cool how those little dogs have no fear even if the rat is almost as big as them. Nasty Rats!!!

Have a flock of 75-100 birds use my farm every year. Looks like these boys came up for a few stones in their diet.

This arrow is in the tree about 30ft up the tree. Of course it’s on the hills of Letchworth Park. Someone shooting across ridges.

So True. I have a friend that loads my 300Wby Mag shells for me and he makes them “Hot” To sit there and watch him and listen what a little bit to much of this or that could do was enough for me not to get to interested in it

True words. To a point. You see the ones left here are happy to keep the site related to the outdoors. We don’t care what someone is drinking or what kind of cigars they smoke. I have read your posts and I’m sure you just as myself do not come here to learn how to hunt. I still learn all kinds of stuff on deer and food plots,forestry work and such but it’s on sites like Don Higgins chasing giants and Real World seed products and such. I mean you yourself with the knowledge you have must still laugh at some of the words you read from some that left here giving advice on some subjects These sites for most are just a hangout to swing by and throw a few words out here and there Not much serious is going to be coming out from these kind of sites

True that and they never will but one has to be honest. The few that poke in just to say stupid crap on certain threads are offering nothing to the site at all.

Now for the couple others that do the same without all the fan fare. You know the couple 3-4 that only show up to post on certain threads that have something to do with a certain member on this site or something to do with the other site. Yet never post anything on any other subject and yet say how much they like this site. One at a time I guess.

Can’t believe the game lasted this long.

Ah I missed what fat boy had to say before he was once again deleted. Can’t imagine what it could have been coming from a guy that said hunting behind fence was so easy and then said at least 3 times….What if I shoot the wrong deer… now that right there shows you all you need to know about that “Sportsman”

Any sitting snow not melted now weights three times as much. Need a few more warm days to put a dent in it.

I read that also. Some crazy sh!t right there. In a store parking lot no less. Very lucky that dude was there and carting his sidearm around that day for sure.

Well after a season of you sitting as many times that you did and harvesting what you did I would have to guess your behind on your reading. A true “Believer” would have done better one would think. Now your talking Scheme’s.

No your 110% spot on. I have a beast of a 7ft blower on a 75hp tractor and a 4ft on a smaller Deere 1025R. I clean up 30 acres of deer pens and laneways on Top of the driveway and around the barns. After 3 days of 30-40mph winds last week I had 4-5ft heavy blown In banks that the blower laughed at. I would love to see someone deal with my kind of snow with a bucket and back blade. Blower wins every time.

If only it was that simple.

Not sure about any canned hunt thing but I can say the people that hunt the deep forests of Canada and the thick nasty crap in Texas where everything wants to stick you, prick you, sting you or kill you don’t have much of a choice. You could sit for weeks without seeing an animal. No difference in bear hunting over a baited trash can. You go try to just sit in the woods somewhere trying to pin down the travel paths of a shooter bruin. A fella better like beef and chicken and won’t have to worry about going thru much ammo.
