Has CRC hijacked your account? Just kidding I think that is first case I've heard in south east. I just have to wonder if this stuff is probably in every state if testing was widespread enough
Naw, it came across my FB account this afternoon I am on several Ms. forums and I just posted it here. LOL
Some of the guys I hunt on down there aren't going to be happy now.

Especially if they are master feeders and baiters in these counties.
I wonder if the NCWRC would ever ban feeding and baiting if CWD is found here?
Their not near as hung up on baiting down there as here. Hasn't been legal that long in many parts.

Thats why I wonder if WRC here would not follow the Arkansas route and still allow baiting to reduce the deer herd in CWD areas.

Saw a study out of Canada that showed cwd can possibly be transferred to humans by eating the meat of infected deer.

There has been no credible evidence that CWD is transmissible to humans. Despite all that, CWD is devastating. And it is going to deal a serious blow to the hunting industry.

The first part is true, but the second part is as far from the truth as possible. CWD is much ado about nothing. It is not a herd destroying disease. Deer hunters should be more concerned with blue tongue, loss of habitat and a myriad of other things before CWD.

Mississippi has banned baiting deer in a bunch of counties around the place where CWD was found.

CWD kills deer over time...years. They will still live long enough to reproduce. But mature/older deer will be even rarer than they are now.

CWD is much ado about nothing............like I have said, if it is so bad, how is it that there are still large numbers of deer in the areas where it is found.........

I would love to see NCWRC be pro-active. Get ahead of this. Go ahead and ban baiting now rather than wait for the inevitable.

Deer bait is big business in NC. Check out all the mom and pop signs advertising corn for sale on the side of the roads, not to mention all of the feeders that are sold and scattered all over the landscape. But more importantly, take away that bucket of corn and half the deer "hunters" out there couldn't kill a deer if it was standing on their porch.

Truth.... I use a lil here and there but I’d say no more than 6 bags in a year, I don’t know how some put out 1000s of pounds a year. If they outlawed it tomorrow I’d be just fine.

Only the General Assembly can outlaw deer baiting unless CWD shows up then the WRC has the authority to ban it where CWD is found.
