Mule deer populations out west declining

No mention of EHD? The writer mentions decline in the herds numbers specifically after droughts which is when EHD outbreaks are most common and when livestock are moved north from the deep south all the way through the grasslands of the Great Plains and northern plains. No mention that they are a reservoir host for the EHD virus. Just the typical elitist blabber of a misinformed environmentalist wacko journalist trying to plant the narrative in the mind of the uninformed that it is the oil and gas companies fault.

If there were any high fenced deer ranches in Wyoming I am sure that destroying them also would have been in their song book as part of the solution needed to ameliorate the issue of declining mule deer numbers.
 
Dr. Fischer in his testimony in Missouri stated that, they didn't want to see a 50% decline in the Missouri like Wyoming was going through.  He conviently left out what the decline in Wyoming was from.  He implied it was CWD's fault.
