Time to ban all those "high fence" hunting preserves. Deer hunting is just too large an industry in this area to take any more chances with these pay-to-hunt operations.

A deer farm in my home town in Almond, WI had to be shut down because of multiple deer having CWD. They said this issue was where the deer were purchased from. I wonder if this is the same issue.

I wonder how much it'll cost to clean up this farm that the CWD was found on.

Outdoor News has an article on their HSOforum, saying the state paid over a million dollars to wipe out the elk farm down near Rochester a year ago. That's on top of whatever the farm/company paid.

What about all the deer p we throw out by our stands?

Doesn't that come from those operations?

Sure it does, it says 100% deer p on the stuff I buy.

It comes with a warning label telling you not apply to yourself, and not to smell it.

I've had deer come right to it and stick their nose in it, paw the ground and then..more deer come to it.

good stuff attracts lots of deer.

Here is a little bit more info on this. Wonder how long the fence was "breached"

...What about all the deer p we throw out by our stands?...

I just realized what you are talking about this summer. This is the first year in a while I haven't used any. I guess you could call it a self imposed ban. Hopefully the p doesn't carry the disease with it, but I feel better about not being the one to be possibly potentially spreading any disease.
