People everywhere!

And the point of spending hours pulling stands would be...........?

 

Upholding a law...but who wouldnt want to get paid to sit in there truck for hours doing nothing

 

Well I for one wouldn’t want to. A Conservation Officer’s job is to protect and preserve our privilege to hunt according to the law. It’s clear that you know nothing about what these public servants go through to do just that.

 

So it’s better for them to yank the stand wasting hours and getting zero in return, then wait and actually catch the violator?

 

Or address real violations.......

 

I would hope they dont, they need to be controlling the spread of disease not encouraging it.

What disease? So few deer have it its not even a drop in the bucket

 

So true. Even the states thats had it for 50 plus years and it’s still a drop in the bucket. But hey, we all need to fill out our panic button.

I will start to get concerned about CWD when they implement the same treatment process for covid-19.... definitely share some characteristics to each other, IMO

 

Lol and the same hysteria over nothing too.

 

By giving the location for the CO, gives the CO a census on the hunting pressure and he/ she can come back and check to make sure things are in order, I wonder how many times a CO goes out to verify a stand and finds a convicted felon holding a weapon, or hunting with out a license, etc, food for thought.

 

And why you pushing for baiting to come back.. lol..

 

That is exactly what I want. And how are they doing that by sitting in a truck for hours rather than going out and doing exactly what you said? I love every time I get checked amd thank them for there job. But I have also had co's sit and wait in a parking with only me there for 4 hours just to wait and do a license check....which I have always had. There are some amazing co's out there and there are many who do what they want even if a crime is soon fed to them with a call. I hear how under manned they are but still see the same ones parked for hours year after in the same spots. I have been told to call the police by one co for multiple hi internet harrassment complaints by multiple people against the same person. Also told why dont you move to the other side of property. We pay for them to uphold if they dont want to do that then they could gladly get a job radaring the hi ighway

 

So far. But it will spread, just like it has in ever other state with CWD. How far and how fast is the question. Mature bucks have the highest prevalence, young bucks spread it through dispersal.

Its the DNR’s job to preserve and protect our natural resources, even if a percentage of people/hunters want to trade the health of that resource for a few inches of bone.

Sparky you have a valid point but in my mind when they are on stakeout it’s usually for a valid reason.
