I hope you burn his ass up for misleading the people he lured into the reason he wanted to do a article and then do a 360 on them and the industry. he does not adhere to any for of ethics in journalism from what I have seen of this kid.
According to this, Ohio is only testing around 1/1000 deer in the wild. That is 1/10th of 1% [.1%]. And they are comfortable with this number?

19px;;(35,35,35)Hunters Killed only 191,000 Deer This Season
;(102,102,102)Deer harvest numbers for the 2013-2014 whitetail deer seasons combined for 191,459 deer killed throughout Ohio’s 88 counties. This number is almost 15% lower than the 218,910 from 2012-2013. The numbers have been on a steady decline the past several years with 219,698 in 2011-2012, and 239,379 in 2010-2011.
;(102,102,102)The ODNR claims that this is all going according to their plan and that the numbers reflect a deer population coming down to their “target� levels. They claim that the goal of their deer management program is to maximize recreational hunting activities while minimizing conflicts with landowners and motorists.

16px;;(68,68,68) b45f07Ohio Data: round 640,000 deer in 2014, Ohio issued fewer deer permits and no antlerless deer permits in some areas to help the herd rebound. Ohio deer population estimated at 700,000 to 750,000, prior to hunting season in 2013 and 2012. About 515,000 resident deer hunters. Although ODNR no longer makes a formal estimate, they agree that the deer population has declined into 2014 as a result of a hard winter, following a general decline since about 2008. Coyote predation is also becoming an issue. About 800,000 deer in 2001. Hunters requested reduced bag limits after the Ohio deer harvest fell by 12.5% in 2013. Down about 27% from 2009. Ohio Department of Transportation picked up 15,000 deer from roads in 2011, compared to 18,000 in 2010. The Ohio Division of Wildlife's goal is to reduce deer populations in counties above population targets. The state has been testing for chronic wasting disease since 2002, no positive cases so far.
16px;;(68,68,68) White-tail deer were plentiful when Ohio became a state in 1803, but were nearly wiped out by the early 1900's as a result of uncontrolled hunting and clearing of forests for farmland. They were declared extinct in the state in 1909. Deer hunting became illegal to preserve the herd. After restocking and conservation efforts, hunting resumed in 1943 when 164 bucks were killed. By the early 1990's, the herd was thought to be too large so hunting limits were increased, resulting in "fewer deer than we thought" by 1997 when hunting limits were reduced. The herd expanded into the early 2000's. Restrictions were lifted again beginning in 2007. In 2014 the state moved to a more county based management.
16px;;(68,68,68) Coyotes first arrived in 1919. The last elk in Ohio was reportedly killed in 1840 in Ashtabula County.

How many deer have they tested from free range harvest in the past 10 years in the state of Ohio vs farms, just curious as it always seems they wait until it is found on a farm before they test in the wild, that makes it easy to blame farms. Or they test very few like .0005% of harvested deer

it very funny to me that a cwd deer came from pa farm that had to be In cwd program for 5 years and it had cwd.all the ads for selling deer states 5+years in cwd program so you think they in good health.so what good does that do to have the 5 year STATUS?none if a deer in pa came from a 5 year plus farm.
in my opinion no deer should come across state lines that had a positive cwd deer as pa did.there is only one way to keep cwd out of ohio and that is to close borders from all other states.
I have hunters tell me that ohio has cwd now because of ohio deer farms-which is just not true it came from a pa farm with 5 or more years in the cwd program.so what good does the program do?just takes money from the deer farmers.
what I getting at is how can this deer from pa have cwd coming from a farm with the STATUS?i think the 5 year STATUS is a joke and a way for states to gain momey from us.so all you 5 plus years STATUS farms who state well I have 5 year STATUS and my deer are CWD free you don't know if they are until its dead and tested.in ohio the cwd program is putting another tag in its ear and testing when deer dies...i want someone to tell me how that little tag keeps our deer from getting cwd?it doesn't.it only a paper trail to track animals.so all you big 5 plus years STATUS guys can cry but your STATUS does not make your deer better or healthier.
so blast me if you like but it is what is is and a cwd infected deer came from a 5 year plus farm.
now how it have been if a farm with no STATUS had a cwd infected deer?i will tell how it would have been,the 5 year STATUS guys would be calling to chop all movement of deer unless it had 5 year STATUS and was in a cwd program.but isn't that where the infected deer came from?how do you defend that?

closing borders is not the answer. Always wrong to restrict commerce. Wild deer don't know where a state line is and wander back and forth at will. From the numbers tested in the article, they are insignificant. The reality is that CWD is probably everywhere. The agencies just have to get over it and move on.

Sad but true..If a guy does not have a deer tested for a couple years he very well may have fed infected feed or a number of other ways CWD could have came in. They are not in bubbles and nothing is fool proof but the fact of the matter is, is that CWD can come anywhere at any time from anybody. But the states need to be on the same playing field and someone with a white coat has to come out with the truth and say that CWD is doing nothing to any herds, any where!!!

Just wait until the folks with a single quarantined animal that is co-mingling with the rest of the herd start moving animals everywhere.
You think closing ohio's border is the answer? Chuckles
Yup that was a very dumb move by farmers but a great play by folks like Patty Kline. If those farms in Ohio that have deer from the Pa farm all end up with a positive, they are done and Patty's smile gets a little bigger because there goes a big chunk of farms out of that state.
