I received this email from a very good friend after I posted a deer movement picture on Facebook.
If government agencies aren't going to enforce their rules and laws on hunters, why are we even bothering testing and record keeping of our herds. We can't control the spread of CWD if we are only going to manage one-side of the fence.

(0,0,0);'comic sans ms', I have a question for you, maybe you can answer it for me, being as how you have some experience in this.
(0,0,0);'comic sans ms', I was traveling from Rochester out to the Air Force Base in Rapid City November 18th. I saw approximately 6, maybe more, vehicles traveling east with animal carcasses in them. I'm not sure if they were Deer, or Elk.
(0,0,0);'comic sans ms', when I was coming home from Rapid City on Friday night - Saturday morning the 21st and 22nd, a pickup and trailer passed me with several deer and a coyote on it. We ended up in the same gas station, as it turned out there were at least 6 deer, I think white tail, on the trailer. The guys had been hunting in Gillette Wyoming, they went on to say it is a trip the make every year. Lucky guys. As it turned out I had run across the guy in Rochester over the years on job sites. His name was Todd, I never new his last name. Anyway Todd lives in Pine Island.

Does this law still exist? or was the local Wisconsin butcher pulling my leg?
(0,0,0);'comic sans ms', If you guys in the Deer business have such ridged transportation rules, shouldn't the hunter have the same guide lines, or is this another case of the government agencies just making it difficult for business to operate.
