WI started testing for CWD in the late 90's, and had the first CWD positive in 2001/2002. I think it was 2003 when they established the Deer Eradication Zone (DEZ) in an attempt to kill every deer. Unlimited tags, EAB, landowners...
We're right on the line of severe / moderate drought according to last week's drought map. Forecasted to get over a little over an inch of rain today into tomorrow.

Fred Bear also held patents, and used, poison pod arrows.
