Yup...Wrong again!  Just more proof just as the first case in that state came from a taxidermist that also had a few study deer.  Came from the wild in 08 and comes from the wild in 15

 

The part i laugh at is that this state says lets kill them all to try and stop the spread. Yeah right, You mean like Wisconsin did and now have twice as many deer and twice as much CWD.

 

Just more deer killed by bullets looking for something that they most likley would not live long enough to catch anyways! Brilliant!!!!

Chronic wasting disease

■ Chronic wasting disease is a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy that affects black-tail deer, white-tail deer, mule deer, moose and elk. It causes a spongy degeneration in the brain and spinal cord and has a long incubation period regulated to be anywhere between 18 months and 8 years.

■ Although CWD was first identified in 1967 in a Colorado wildlife research facility, the prions (folded proteins) that cause it weren't discovered until 1982. The man who first isolated the infectious agents, Stanley Prusiner, won a Nobel prize.

■ The effect on Michigan's deer herd will likely be slow. Some models show a potential 50% decrease in deer populations over several decades.

■ The most likely method of transmission is environmental contamination via feces, urine, saliva or carcass debris rather than feeding over bait.

 

• What does the return of CWD mean for us?

■ Several states have identified carcasses of infected animals from other states as the source of CWD in their deer herd.

■ A study of hunters in Colorado where CWD is prevalent showed no evidence of human transmission. However, since similar diseases have a long incubation period in humans, and the disease may not be identified without an autopsy, it is wise to be cautious and avoid eating deer from CWD areas.

■ Michigan's DNR is asking that you report deer that are unusually thin or displaying behaviors such as a lack of fear of humans or weakness.

■ There is a misconception that CWD is caused by high-fence hunting. It is not. It is more easily observed, identified and spread in a group of captive animals. It's also easier to contain in that setting than in the wild.

■ Michigan has rigorous standards of testing for captive deer facilities and has tested more than 20,000 captive deer for CWD.

DNR actions will include:

■ Completing a population survey in the area where the CWD-positive deer was found.

■ Establishing a Core CWD Area consisting of Alaiedon, Delhi, Lansing, Meridian, Wheatfield and Williamstown townships in Ingham County; Bath and DeWitt townships in Clinton County; and Woodhull Township in Shiawassee County. Unlimited antlerless deer hunting licenses will be available. Mandatory checking of deer will be required in this area during hunting seasons and restrictions will apply to the movement of carcasses and parts of deer taken in this area. Landowners can get disease control permits and start hunting now.

■ Implementing a deer and elk feeding and baiting ban, which will include the Core CWD Area and a larger zone of all three counties.

■ Prohibiting the possession or salvage of deer killed by collision with a motor vehicle within the Core CWD Area. Also, residents are asked to call in the locations of roadkill deer within this area so DNR staff can pick up for testing. Research shows CWD-infected deer are more likely to be hit by vehicles because of their illness.

More information on CWD is available at michigan.gov/cwd.

 

At least some are writing the facts!
