Title: Another unit in Idah has CWD
Post by: Sitka_Blacktail on November 08, 2023, 10:27:36 PM: I just read that a mule deer taken in Idaho Unit 32 A has tested positive for CWD.

I have a feeling that the anti-hunting members of the commission are excited at the reality of dwindling ungulates in our state.

So 1 unit, straight line from 14 through 23 to 32A. I kinda doubt it is in the other units honestly, I’m guessing somebody ignored CWD rules and dumped a carcass in 32 near squaw Butte. Those 32a deer end up in that country over the winter

Don't like to sound doomsday, but an outbreak in Washinton could be disastrous to our already dwindling herds. It certainly decimated a strong unit we hunted for years in Utah.
