CWD Officially Confirmed in WA

[Special T]

What are the odds that this leads to a bait ban, or an end to feed stations?

The Washington State Archery Association Hunting VP stated that the commission has already tried to use this as justification to end it State wide. The best we can hope for is to present science that it doesn't help and isolate bans to geographic regions of the state.

I would like to know why my post on this CWD found north of Spokane was taken down? It was the first post on this subject and was posted before this one was started. Is HW turning into a good 0 boys club?

Look at post number one of this thread. It was posted at 1:41 pm yesterday. Post two is your post two hours after the first post on this topic. I merged the two topics and because you were second to post the story the first posting took priority.

No this place isn’t the good o boys club.

When I posted mine this one wasn't up. I looked, or I wouldn't have posted it. I also checked back and read comments on it and this one still wasn't up. This isn't the first time this has happened to a post of mine.

Everything you said and everyone’s replies to your thread are still here. The title change to the original posters title so what you called the thread changed from “chronic wasting disease in Spokane county”. I’m not sure exactly what the title of yours was but they are both a bout the same thing. The original poster copy and pasted the text of the story and posted it. You provided a link to the King Story that the OP copied.

I apologize for changing the title of the post. When I merged topics I should not have clicked change all post titles then it may have been easier for you to see who was replying to your link and who was replying to the OP’s post.

I assume the reason you didn’t see it was that it was originally posted on the virtual campfire not in deer hunting where you posted yours. I moved this thread to deer hunting and then merged them. I guess I could have moved yours to virtual campfire and then merged them there but it made more sense to me to compromise and move his to where you posted, deer hunting, and merge them under his title since he posted first.

Having two threads with the exact same story from king five in two different boards didn’t make any sense and gets confusing. Then we get complaints when someone posted in VC and clicks on your thread in deer hunting. “Why did you mods delete my post from the chronic wasting disease thread?” Uh we didn’t you are looking at the wrong thread.

We seriously can’t win sometimes.

Also there is a report to moderator button that you can hit if you have an issue that keeps this stuff off the main forum or you can pm any moderator or admin at anytime to ask a question.

Thanks R10, for merging the threads so we can have a single conversation. 

This is really bad news.  👎

I hope they can get a handle in it quickly.
This could really hammer us.

I think CWD moving west has been the elephant in the room for awhile.  The good news it has been in other states for quite awhile so hopefully lessons learned there will help us here.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out for sure. Our herds don’t need another blow that is for certain although nature does seem to always find a way to rebound.

This is exactly the ammo they needed to justify an over-abundance of predators as well. Unfortunately I can see this being the new climate change for the commission, they can manipulate it however they like to bolster their agenda. Hope I'm wrong

I think this can and will be used to implement much more than just banning bait. I see this as their opportunity to restrict hunting all together.

There is a few issues here with cwd.

Are we dealing with patient zero,or patient 52,000.
We have one positive case,false positives happen in the medical world. Testing through this hunting season this year is critical.
To create a road map of infected areas.

East side deer are infected now. West side guys better stay home.
Lol😂🤣

No baiting
Choose East or West for deer coming soon.

[boneaddict]

Knew it was coming.   Darn!

[hunter399]

Honestly they should require that you have your deer tested.
STARTING NOW for the Eastside.
That's the only way to lockdown where it's at.
Then when you have infected areas recorded,then you can put other restrictions in play to slow the spread.
