Trout: tracks feathers and crap Trout: after you shoot it :) JoeArcher: Crack house? Not I Hunter333: OK, so there isnt that too much to it different from other hunting situations? yodas: My opinon is it's alway been there, (TB) as long as you have cows you will have TB JoeArcher: Yep, and TB has been in our deer for decades (at least) Stalker: Ok good one trout.

I know its stupid, i said it "tongue in cheek" Trout: You need to adjust the string yodas :) JoeArcher: But, my point is DNR is in a major bind right now Trout: What would happen if the DNR just sat back and said oh well? yodas: I think that the AG department is to blame for the TB in the cattle, Trout: We would be hopping mad webmaster: Yeah, the Farm Bearu is breathing down their neck JoeArcher: Since TB was discovered they have done everything they could think of Trout: FB is a scam JoeArcher: Their goal was not to loose our TB free status...and they still lost it webmaster: And yodas, I think the cattle may be responsible for the TB in deer. Trout: IRS can't touch them yodas: But they want to point there finger a the deer herd. I think this is BullShit ( sorry web) JoeArcher: It is definitely... bovine means cattle webmaster: I've said it before... maybe they should stop feeding the cattle :) yodas: The cattle DID bring this to the deer herd Trout: Our cattle didn't always have a tb free stat. BIG BUCKS at work JoeArcher: Anyway, extended hunting seasons, special seasons, baiting restrictions, baiting bans....it didnt work yodas: And it never will JoeArcher: We lost our TB free status.

It just is being look at alot close now Trout: FB is pointing a dirty finger at the deer the DNR is being run by scared management JoeArcher: I agree, it never will..it has to limit itself in the wild...period JoeArcher: the best way to reduce TB percentage, is overpopulated deer numbers and harsh winters Stalker: How many of you even look for signs of TB in deer you took 15 years ago? Trout: Domestic livestock and wild animals never will be managed together yodas: It's being looked at because someone wants to do away with baiting Stalker: I agree Joe. All it will take is a good hard winter to bring thing back to square JoeArcher: Baiting is part of it...man poor farmers on BOTH ends! Trout: Next they will stop deer hunting because they are a risk to human safty antis at work? Trout: No black helis here just looking ahead yodas: I butcher my own deer, I can say I've never seen the spots or leasons , Lots of liver fluks though JoeArcher: I am not worried about stopping hunting, but more worried that DNR will try to adjust deer numbers with means other than hunting now! yodas: Baiting is part of what joe Trout: I think the doe permits took care of reducing the deer JoeArcher: You have a better chance of getting TB in the field than eating the meat JoeArcher: The doe permits killed yong deer in my area Trout: On state land we have lots of deer by me on private the deer are getting few and far between JoeArcher: The older deer arent stupid, they became nocturnal and survived *: You are on channel 1 with webmaster, Trout, Stalker, yodas, Hunter333.

I was worried that was to many. but I sure saw alot of deer while turkey hunting. yodas: Doe permits are a good thing, it's the people that shoot anything that moves with them thats the problem, thats the same person that will buy 10 or 20 of them and shoot nothing but fawns JoeArcher: We had alot of pressure. Its normal for me to go from seeing 15 deer/day during bow to not seeing a deer at all after opening day of rifle Trout: How many bucks and how many buttons webmaster: Yes, yodas so to some degree its the hunter's fault who do things like that.

We hunt at different times. Trout: right yodas JoeArcher: not the origijnal 452, north of hwy 32, east of 65 Trout: I think to kill deer now you really have to sit in your stand all day yodas: Where I hunt I can let a small buck walk, I've done it the past 5 years, last year I did not kill a buck My 14 year old daughter did a 6pt, I watched him all the first week JoeArcher: HEck I didnt even take a deer up there last year. I got my 6 point in southern MI Trout: not just for 3 hours and call it quits Stalker: that depends on where you hunt. Do you hunt public or private land trout? Trout: When I first started hunting if you saw any deer you were lucky Trout: Both private and public JoeArcher: So if collectively, we are not seeing as many deer...how does DNR expect us to reduce the numbers? webmaster: I'm spoiled, when I first started hunting in 1990 there were deer all over the place. Trout: They are doing it with the doe permits and early hunts *: You are on channel 1 with webmaster, Trout, Stalker, yodas. webmaster: Good question Joe, one I don't have the answer to. yodas: The last 5 bucks I killed were 8 1/2 , 4 1/2, 3 1/2, 4 1/2, 3 1/2., They were shot around a bait pile, and in broad daylight.
