800 deer on 200 acres, that is a feedlot, not a wildlife preserve. Feedlots are agricultural entities.
From the article.

Happens every day from scabies in sheep, fever ticks, to king ranch horses...
It's very interesting on the back end...

He has more then two hundred acres from my understanding. Hard to gather info from just one article. From my understanding the infraction in agruement was over horns leaving not whole deer.

Be interesting to see how it plays out.

A one and done test will sure fix the peeing matches. Hope it comes out soon.

Seems like draconian measures......but that's common when State Agencies get involved and there is a "hint" of CWD.

He is a deer breeder also, hence high numbers on low acreage. Lot more to this than what is being reported would be my guess.

Man it's all over the News up there..

And just when people had forgotten how you are and were starting to like you. You have to say this. Oh well.

I don't think anyone will be shocked at my take on it. Nor yours or many others, pro or con. And, unlike many, I don't post worrying about winning a popularity contest. Never have, never will.

Sad the way government agencies regulate things. But that's what happens when you hire unqualified people and put them in power positions.

Oh, I forgot you owned it. Sorry boss.

I won't bring up that your position is that they are all livestock. (Oops.)

Do you get upset when they have to kill infected cattle herds with communicable diseases? Or the Montana bighorn herd with pneumonia?

It happens sometimes. All else being equal, I'll side with the LEOs trying to protect the wildlife herds overall.

Guess you didnt read the rules.

800 deer in 200 acres? I would call that a target rich environment for sure.

From the USDA site on current testing.
CWD Diagnostics
Last Modified: Apr 7, 2015

The "gold standard" diagnostic test for CWD is the Immunohistochemistry (IHC) test performed on the obex tissue of the brain (photo left) and specific lymphoid tissues. IHC testing is a an antibody based staining which is evaluated using light microscopy. This test is both sensitive and specific. In addition, the microscopic methods used to detect positive staining also allow confirmation that the correct tissue and location within the tissue are present to detect the earliest accumulations of the prion agent. IHC is used by the National Veterinary Services Laboratories (NVSL) to confirm the presence of CWD prions in positive tissues and is an official test of the APHIS Approved State CWD herd certification program (HCP).

In December 2012, APHIS approved the Bio-RAD™ CWD enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) as an official test screening test on obex and lymph node tissues collected for routine CWD surveillance of farmed cervids enrolled in the Approved State CWD HCP. Any non-negative ELISA results will be confirmed by NVSL using immunohistochemistry.

The USDA Center for Veterinary Biologics (CVB) permits the use of the Bio-RAD™ CWD ELISA test in the United States and restricts its sale and use to laboratories approved by State and Federal animal health officials. CWD testing can only be performed by approved laboratories that are part of the USDA's National Animal Health Laboratory Network system.

Other diagnostic tests and technologies that allow more rapid testing of larger numbers of samples continue to be developed. A rectal associated mucosal lymphoid tissue (RAMALT) biopsy (live-animal) test has been developed by researchers and appears to hold promise for future use in certain CWD monitoring or management situations in farmed cervids. This technique utilizes the current IHC testing technologies described above. The RAMALT is not currently approved as an official test for CWD.

What rule or rules or you referring to?

Great Info again nsmike!

Is this like parvo to dogs?

I believe this rule

Now ...if there are any good sheds in that herd, give me a call

Well I didn't read it that way. I didn't read it as "contact about changing a behavior". I read it as a member who disagreed with my point of view on the subject at hand. I am/was discussing the subject at hand. Nothing more or less.

Bingo.

And I would add, they are just like other over rated "scientific" communities that protect their power and influence by inventing conclusions to support a flawed hypothesis.
