Let's bring back wolves, half kidding, half serious, I know that it isn't possible, but when we start talking about letting nature run its course.......
Now that's funny. Would help with the coyote issue too.

I’d bet a nickel.... most sick deer in my area (good, bad or indifferent) will get killed and eaten by a coyote. I’m filled with coyotes. They see a deer starting to act sick- they will target and kill it. Don’t know how this impacts the cwd discussion & maybe it doesn’t change a thing. Just a side note or result & what I think will happen.Let's bring back wolves, half kidding, half serious, I know that it isn't possible, but when we start talking about letting nature run its course.......

Link to a poll on CWD: https://nationaldeeralliance.com/member-polls
I actually ain’t gonna “suggest” people use minerals with cwd in question. I’m gonna stay “neutral”. This is one schmuck’s opinion on things BUT with minerals- I am just pleading the 5th or simply staying neutral. I honestly can see both sides of that & I gonna sit on sidelines for “my opinion” when it comes to those 2 topics mixing together.So...the skeptics are all in on your minerals? Skip??
Ha!!!! I didn’t get that far!!!! Omg!!! Hilarious!!!The CWD questions seemed pretty good, but I lost a little interest when the questions on the next page had to do with how much roadkill you eat..
I purchased all of my mineral just prior to the positive test in Wayne and have been debating ever since. I'm curious as to what everyone else is doing with their mineral sites.?
As of 2017, apparently now there's been a study done where they've successfully passed cwd into monkeys by feeding them contaminated venison. Anyone have a take on this?
This is a SIMPLE article (not the Flounder type studies that I've been reading)..... BASICALLY.....
ONE SOLUTION...... There seems to be a common thread in the studies that show certain genetic strains of deer are tolerant or "immune" to CWD - to differing degrees. Immunity takes time of course. So, if we dive deeper in the WY study (that I won't bore you with posting) - it pointed out "at this rate, our herd will be dead in 40 years....... BUT...... Since the genetically immune species will take the place, that logic is completely false". HMMMMM - ooooooppps, someone had to finally think through this and finally realized the truth in that study. Here's the easier read though & I realize this "ARTICLE" has some opinion and contraversial parts to it.....

(snip...tss)FOLLOW THE LOGIC STEP BY STEP & that's the ONLY conclusion that really gets to the heart of this. CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG YET AGAIN.
Ya- there’s where I personally run into to Trouble... again, I ain’t gonna be the guy that posts “ya, ur fine” BUT..... my thought line on other side of it is a “healthier deer” with a better immune system. A lot of those minerals aid in that. Why I put em out, carefully (not creating mud pits or salty standing water) for EHD (and mixed granulated garlic & sulfur for flies, midges, ticks, etc). Health, immune system, etc.I think minerals would obviously aid in the spread. But one article I read suggested Copper and Magnesium help deter the prion and also once an animal is infected they slow the rate at what CWD progresses.
Almost forgot about this...fair enough skip, I see where you're going with this. Also, great job on the site and good luck with it!I actually ain’t gonna “suggest” people use minerals with cwd in question. I’m gonna stay “neutral”.

I agree 100%, but I have to believe that there has to be a financial gain to be had in all of this,?,? At least for today.....but tomorrow could be much different.I think the best thing the government can do is by not helping. All there worried about is the political side of most things anyway.

Yes..... anytime there’s Government + a problem + research + tax dollars = $ to be made or motives SOMEWHERE. To keep it simple..... one poster child example of this is the Global Warming scenario..... that has made many companies and people multi-millionaires (heck, Gore made in $100’s of millions I believe). The Grants and government funding pay people, UNIVERSITIES & company’s for research, “possible solutions” and it employs a large amount of people.I agree 100%, but I have to believe that there has to be a financial gain to be had in all of this,?,?

Sligh, where does one get this granulated garlic and sulfer in quantities for lick stations and how do you disperse it(large areas or only at licks)?(and mixed granulated garlic & sulfur for flies, midges, ticks, etc). Health, immune system, etc.
