Did anyone have to get their deer tested?

Had I shot a deer in 193, the nearest testing station would have been 30 miles away in Walker.

CWD detected near Bemidji. 

With preliminary test results indicating the first suspected case of chronic wasting disease in the Bemidji area, hunters who harvest deer in deer permit areas 184 and the western portions 110, 169 and 197 are encouraged to use the self-service sampling stations listed below so their deer can be tested for CWD.

The adult male was harvested opening weekend of the firearms season about ten miles south of Bemidji in deer permit area 184. Final test results are expected later this week.

Technically, two months from now will be "next year," but it sounds like said slaughter could be coming sooner than you think.   

This quote also from that same linked page...

If the preliminary test is confirmed, the DNR will take additional management actions per the department's CWD response plan, which may include late special season hunting and targeted culling.

but the wolfs might go hungary!!!!   

[Steve-o]

but the wolfs might go hungary!!!!

How come the woofs don't get CWD from eating infected deer?     Wait...

How about a comprehensive state-wide study to look for incidents of CWD in wolves.   

[mike89]

good idea!!

So that means we gotta shoot them to find out.

Well first evening in. Took a drive to see what I might encounter in the morning. 4 sets of fresh tracks after I drove in. seen one of them, a fawn. Thinking I will be dealing with nocturnal deer,

[Bobberineyes]

You always have us fer entertainment if ya get bored Glenn! 

[glenn57]

Flying skurrels are back.

[mike89]

My morning view. I'm even more convinced the deer are nocturnal now!

My morning view. I'm even more convinced the deer are nocturnal now!

You seein' any other tracks, poop, beds?  This is a great time to hunt with just a few days of snow on the ground.

I like to walk around and see where they've been.  Plus, it is easier to see 'em further in the distance against the white background if you jump 'em.

But when all that snow is stickin to the branches, and the brush is thick, it can make it harder to spot deer in the distance.

They are sure nocturnal up here. I have one daytime picture of a deer on my trailcams. All the rest are in the dark.

[glenn57]

Steveo since I'm up here by myself I tend not to go venturing far from my normal paths. I don't want to have to physically drag a deer real far that I can't get my wheeler to.espcially when I'm alone. I've got 2 sets of tracks 10 steps from my stand.

I'm seeing tracks and I'm certain they are made at night. Just based on what I've seen the past 24 hours.

[dakids]

Just got to my stand.  Looks like the deer have had a party around my stand.  It's an oak ridge next to a cedar swamp.  Going to sit until dark unless my son shoots one out of the barn.

[glenn57]

Seen 5 this afternoon all does and fawns and all after dark and not in my permit zone.

There talking wind chill below zero tomorrow. Currently enjoying a vodka and OJ contemplating my strategy that may include heading home.
