Yeah it is I bunch of crap.....and as long as we sit on our hands and do nothing they will continue to take advantage of us.....we need to hire Legal Councel and show them that we are NOT going to put up with it any longer.........with them putting those names out there some moron..... that may think Deer Farms do create CWD..... could go and try and do something revengeful....it's crazy.....I tried getting something started but the interest just wasn't there I guess......
Don't get too discouraged just yet. I was on a 3 1/2 hr. conference call last night with about 35 people representing most of the state associations, both deer and elk. Everyone seems to be disgusted with the rules and the attitudes of the government agencies. This will come to a head soon. Be patient. We will prevail.

I am just concerned we are rapidly losing our numbers.......with numbers comes more money and more fighting power......I sure hope it comes to a head soon......something has to give.....

I find i dissapointing my name is on that list, without me being informed that it would be for the public to see. Not that it means anything, I don't really care, but don't I have the right to my privacy. All these events have sickened me, I am to the point that could just about give all my deer away for free tomorrow (o wait I can't, I am on quartantine!), really very little excitment left for me any more. I get upset, just by looking at my deer now, I feel like its a crime to raise deer, The ag just gives me demands and if I don't comply I am at risk for fines, license revok, or jail time, because my farm is on lockdown. Very little fun left in it for me. I hope I get over it soon, but i am nervous until I get the results back, with my luck, my sample will probably test positive and I'll be out $50,000. If I get out of this I will think hard before I ever buy a deer again with theses current regulations, this CWD thing will come up again in a few years and I will not be a part of it again. I am thank God I get to live in a country and state that allows deer farming(for now), many don't get the privilage, but sometimes I really feel it is not worth it.

Yeah it really makes me mad when NONE DEER FARMERS call me because they seen my name on "a list on the internet". I wasnt even supposed to be involved and still my name was on that list more then the farm that it was found on! I go into town now and someone who knows nothing about the deer business comes up and says they saw that our deer are quarantined. They assume my deer are infected and im sure it spreads to everyone they talk to. That list was not a smart move by the DEPT.
Sickening.......just sickening......they don't care what money you have in it....they Don't care about anything but making sure they cover their butts....and they keep their jobs......in their defense...the ones on the front lines....they are only doing what their told......it's the second teir we need to be after!!
Crocket,

I got a call today from the altoona mirror newspaper wanting to write an article on our farm being quarantined. I explained that we and many other farms are no longer quarantined. He wanted to write about how the quarantine was going to affect our business. Has anyone else had a call?

I seen on a hunting forum that Pink 23, the doe missing from the original herd, was killed in our state's opening day of rifle yesterday. I am sure this will be in the news at some point today.

Thats good news! Maybe some states like Ny will get their crap together. They have us shut down tighter than the state that had the cases. We had cwd years ago and went through everything that came with it. Our deer herd is bigger than its ever been and there have been no new cases in our state in like 7 years.
Let's see how she tests....if she tests positive for CWD.....look out! That won't be good news!
