More on Michigan CWD
So here's what's happening right now. Michigan United Conservation Clubs, the group I work with, has had policy on its books for a couple of years that calls for a statewide ban on baiting and feeding of deer. MUCC has stepped up its efforts to see that ban become reality and the DNR has implemented an immediate ban on baiting and feeding across the entire Lower Peninsula of Michigan. MUCC is also working with state agencies to ensure that captive cervid facilities are operating under the state's guidelines and following all safety precautions.
Deer taken in Tyrone, Solon, Nelson, Sparta, Algoma, Courtland,
Alpine, Plainfield, and Cannon townships, which contain the surveillance
area must be checked at a DNR check station for CWD testing. An additional 300 road-killed deer are also being gathered and tested in Kent County.
If a wild deer is found to have CWD, things get very, very ugly here. The state's plan includes an eradication process and will have tremendous impacts on the hunting community in a state with two million deer and one million deer hunters.
Let's all hope that this is simply one isolated case.
