Thread: New Cases of CWD found in Arkansas counties .

The elk heard in Ark has been here for 34 years with no problems they were brought here from Co or WY i dont remember which as part of a trade for fish I think that original herd has been managed within the state. I could be wrong tho. My best guess is the Disease has just naturally traveled here or a hunter brought in a CWD infected carcus and dumped it somewhere in the state
We do know this:
This disease has no cure and is contiguous...The AGFC has some tough decisions to make that will not be popular to deer hunters. I really do think they should put a stop to artificial feeding for a few years to help stop the spread. I will bet my best shinny nickle that if they stop artificial feeding, the cases of CWD will drop drastically. But hey tha'ts my 2cents

I lived most of my life in Illinois and feeding has never been allowed up there and they have CWD in a big way, in a few counties. I hunted several of the those counties extensively and am sure I consumed many a deer with CWD...

I certainly do Bobby! I hope when the spring of 2018 gets here, I still remember which end of the pole I'm supposed to hold!
