Cwd podcast that is actually very good

Definitely seems that way. How can they say dumping piles on the ground is ok, but say a gravity feeder is not ok?

Yep. Either they want to come off looking like they are proactive or they don’t want to have a full baiting cult mutiny on their hands

Missouri only does mandatory CWD testing in select counties that they are monitoring. The way it was explained to me for our county (which just dropped the mandatory testing this year), the reason they do mandatory testing for only the firearm opener is because that is the weekend most deer are killed, and testing is prohibitively expensive to do for the entire deer season.

It seems if the prions are nearly impossible to kill that you could have an intern chuck samples in the freezer all season and then test after season once all samples are in. That would open the sampling up while still concentrating the testing.

CWD testing is certainly expensive and these state agencies aren't exactly flush with cash. MN has been mandating testing of deer registered on opening weekend of gun season(in some zones) for a few years. They get the most bang for their buck that way. No different than law enforcement ramping up drunk driving enforcement on New Year's Eve.

I think this could work, but I'd think most hunters would want to know if their deer is positive for CWD before consuming the meat. I don't get the impression it's meant to be a comprehensive survey, and it's really just a way to keep track of some outbreak areas.
