I have read about and heard about how indigenous people around the world used fire, but never really understood it until I saw it in action on Meateater, of all places:
Removing it to where? If you're dumping it on the ground when you're done, then it didn't help. Do we know that municipal water treatment effectively destroys CWD?
Can I cook CWD out of my deer meat?
No. Unlike bacteria and parasites that can be killed through the cooking process, CWD prions cannot be cooked hot enough at home to make them un-infectious. Incineration is necessary to render these prions un-infectious, which leaves no meat to consume...
I have been storing my Big Buddy in its original box for years now, but the box has reached the end of its life and I thought I would get a Rubbermaid tote or similar to put it in, but none of the ones I can find are big enough (specifically tall enough), unless the tote is about 2-3 times as...
Also, "100 year old design." From the title, I thought we were talking about the Russian army dragging up cartridges they found in a basement in Siberia.
I like a lot of Zinke's talking points, but then he goes off on "access", which is code for more roads. I get it, but also, if we make it so you can drive to every square inch of public land, there will be a lot fewer places for animals to live (plenty of studies showing how elk generally avoid...
I don't think you are being unreasonable. I tend to believe the experts (WGFD, in this case) unless they give me reason to doubt them. Perhaps you have reason(s) to doubt them or you're just less trusting in general?
I can't find the raw data in a quick search but, "...five-year averages were calculated to ensure a significant sample size,” the WGFD wrote. “The Project herd in the Lander Region continues to have the highest CWD prevalence in the state at 66.3%. The Shoshone River herd in the Cody Region is...
I think someone in this thread thinks that transmission to humans is the only concern regarding CWD. That is absolutely not the case. CWD is killing elk and deer and having population-level effects. The USGS study in WY is a good example: "CWD prevalence (the proportion of elk infected with...
