Minnesota Red Deer Herd Depopulated; No New CWD Positives Found

Four Seasons Whitetails · Sep 17, 2014

I had my yearly inventory Monday and kinda got into it with my state vet about CWD and they say that by keeping the borders closed to Whitetails it will keep CWD out of Ny! I told her that I could have a very good chance of bringing it in to alot of farms just by buying my winter hay! She was clueless to the fact that the prions could be moved by feed ?? Really, I mean she really told me I was full of it!

Tell ya what , Pm me her contact number and I will be happy to call he and give her factual based info and better educate her on transmission vectors. Im serious . Pm me their contact info and be happy to help you out. It shows how uneducated some of these people are and not given proper info or training. Sounds like the the same chick that was over captive program in NC, Straight out of school, Got hired by the state WRC and had no experience in any form of captive management or education and went around wit a little bull dog attitude and made no friends or got any respect from people in the captive arena. Agai folks updated and proper education is what these state guys lack. Lets get them up to speed with the truth and positive information to better try and establish a better working relationship if possible .As long as their open to reason and suggestion.

It is very important for any involved in the industry to develop good open dialect and working relations with the DOA . In the past that has been one of the problems that persisted in different states was a lack of open communication.

Oh we are on great terms and belirve it or not this lady was the lady that did the testing on the first case of CWD in Ny. I just asked her the other day.. Why is it I can bring other vectors of CWD into the state from proven carriers but not deer from 10 years plus tested negitive deer herds from other states! She says she has seen nothing of alfalfa and such and has heard nothing of what Canada is thinking about doing! That's the problem. Our positives never get out znd all the negitives do and runs our ***** over! Untill we have a couple active court cases going in each state during these states then we will get no where but depopulated! Maybe there should be a donation action in each state supported by every state to foot the bill to start these suits? Man it just burns me!!
