Wow been awhile since i have heard a conversation like this,which is good.So here,s my take. I have been deer hunting since i was 14 years old 57 now. I have deer hunted in 6 states and 2 provinces. I have sat on stumps,no bait and shot deer.I have been on drives,stander and a driver. I have stalked deer on foot. I have hunted from ladder stands,climbing stands,ground blinds. I have shot deer over bait,corn and apples. I have shot deer over food plots. The reason i hunt is for the venison. I like eating it and i like the the thrill of the hunt.Anyone that says hunting over bait is unsportsmanlike has not sat over bait 3 days and seen only a blue jay.Its not as easy as some would have you believe.Then there is the cwd issue .Which i have followed closely since it made its debut in 2001.Its really problematic when the experts can,t agree on what causes it how its spread etc. For an example in the year 2000 i went to a informational turkey hunt meeting.After the meeting was over a man spoke up and said he was the deer ecologists for the northern part of the state of Wis.He says anyone got any questions on deer hunting?I said yeah are you concerned at all about CWD in WIS? His response was and i quote {I would be more concerned about eating a British Slim Jim than cwd in wisconsin}And further more if it show up here, it most likely would be in the southern part of the state.This guy turned out to be a profit because 2001 cwd was in the state of Wis. Next up were deer meetings about CWD . The state brought in a guy to answer question we had about Cwd.I raised my hand and asked the question.If Cwd is transmitted by close proximity ,how do you explain the article in the PIONEER press about a bull elk found dead,tested positive for CWD.Lived on a game farm in Minnesota with 42 head of elk for 3 years? His response was astounding,he said i quote{that has nothing to do with Wis.Thats in Minn.}Then he admitted he had not heard about it.This was the state guy that was supposed to be in the loop on current CWD . What a joke.I walked out of the meeting early.By the way that elk herd was quarantined and slaughtered ,and the results were, none of the other elk were infected with Cwd ! Now some please explain that to me? Aims IOWA is the home of the research lab that does the testing for cwd,now another problem,false test results,testing positive when negative.Then they had to send test to Cleveland, where testing for the human variant is done which is Jacobs Creutzfeldt disease.Right now this is a frustrating mess.And game dept.s are making decisions based on incomplete science. I could keep going but i think you get my drift,i don,t by into how the disease is transmitted.
