This meeting is a good opportunity to learn about the Iowa DNR's approach. I posted a very good article relative to CWD that touched on other States approaches and recent results on the "CWD real world" thread.

Interesting thread...I guess I made a distinction when I began producing DVDs & television, book, etc.. I felt hunting shows/videos were about entertainment, and sponsorship pays the freight just like general TV, movies and music, and I really did not have a problem with that. I felt the...

I thought I would post an excellent recent newspaper article that is fair and balanced, and reflects different approaches to CWD by Wyoming, Wisconsin and Illinois. You'll note that one game mgmt unit in Wyoming does nothing to combat CWD (Mulies) and infection rates there are now 50% and they...

The folks who preach late season doe kill operate on a false premise on several levels. First off your bucks are working hard to breed "dead" does causing additional stress, and increased mortality. After intensive doe harvest year after year, you have orphaned many buck fawns and a high...

Sligh1, This is an excellent thread and I commend your efforts...I'd like to offer my 2 cents based on decades of experience. Protecting younger deer despite rack size is the correct thing to do, its all about age and there is nothing wrong with your goal of tagging 5 1/2 year old bucks. As...

CWD positive deer have been found in 3 new IL counties, including Jo Davies County which borders the Mississippi River & Iowa. Three more counties now have deer herds with chronic wasting disease. Deer in Jo Daviess, Grundy and Kane counties recently tested positive for the fatal disease...

This is an AP story, the MN DNR is moving quickly to sample... PINE ISLAND, Minn. (AP) — Deer hunters in southeastern Minnesota's will be used to help the Department of Natural Resources determine the extent of an outbreak of chronic-wasting disease. Starting Wednesday, the DNR will begin...

Really enjoyed your video!

Actually we have learned a great deal more since WI's initial detection. We know now that fawn infection cannot be detected until mid to late January (based on normal fawn drop). Initially it was thought that the prions were detectable in the central nervous system and certain organs only...now...

Thank you all for the warm welcome. whitetail fanatic: Many people feel the same regarding CWD always being present, including some experts. Shortly after CWD was found in IL, I spent time working with James Kroll and Gordon Whittington down in Texas. Dr. Kroll felt CWD had been present in...

It looks as though the Iowa DNR has been doing monitoring for quite some time which is excellent. They state on the link above that they have a plan in place should CWD be found in the State...Have they made their plan public yet? It will be interesting to learn about their approach.

Loneranger: Incidence is higher in bucks probably due expansion of range during rutting, which to me is all the more reason to manage habitat and the herd intensively, in an attempt to reduce reduce buck range, and build older age classes which in my opinion provides sentries to keep...

Hello Everyone! Thank you for your questions, I’ll do my best to respond accurately. The key here is that this is truly a “realtime” science issue, meaning what’s known today may be updated tomorrow. Most folks who are interested in management find this topic interesting, and it would be...
