    We all knew it was just a matter of time before CWD closed in. Chances are it is in SC and we just don’t know it yet.

    Yeah - it's about as cheap as free offshore fish, per pound.

    Corn piles, feeders and salt/mineral stations will be the first to go I think.

    Has that been the reaction in other states that have dealt with this, or do you think that there will be a fedguv push for wider restrictions?

    They found prions in the dirt of a holding pen years after the quarantined animals were euthanized, I believe in Wyoming. No quick fixes with this one.

    I know one state that has a bait ban in place only in affected regions due to CWD and it has been in place for years.

    It's been mixed from what I can find. Some states go scorched earth in the positive area and surrounding areas with bonus CWD tags/seasons and some eliminate un natural gathering spots like bait stations and mineral licks/troughs.

    There's a fed bill to fund CWD research with a call for federal involvement. Makes me kind of twitchy. I believe more research is definitely needed but any time uncle sugar gets involved the fecal level rises exponentially. I want resources managed at the state level. We start getting feds involved with America's most hunted game species and no telling what we'll wind up with.

    The funky part is CWD is a real disease. Of that there is zero doubt. But there is tremendous debate on how it is and will effect our deer herds long term. It has a long incubation period. Young bucks with a wider home range and displacement tend to be the biggest spreaders. Even in CWD hot zones there has been no noticeable change in population despite increased harvest. But what has been seen is a change in age class. A deer infected at birth day 1 most likely won't start showing symptoms until 2-3 years of age. So positive asymptomatic deer can still breed. But once they show symptoms they aren't long for this world. Still lots to learn about it and the long term effects though.

    Shouldn't be much of a problem here then. Most deer are between 2 and 3 years of age. So we should be fine! Lol

In duck hunting the scene is as important as the shooting.” ~ Erwin Bauer, The Duck Hunter’s Bible, 1965

    Better than the feds, who have no knowledge of the state, its resources, traditional use practices etc.

    State DNR agencies aren't perfect for sure. But at least most still know or at least pretend to know that hunters are the one management tool they have at their disposal that doesn't cost them money and actually makes them money. Feds don't/won't care and will use every act, law, regulation in their power to take hunting out of any management equation.

    I give you the wolf and grizzly as examples.
