Neither of my girls want to hunt this year, which is a bummer. I gotta wait until Wednesday.

As with most posts on CWD, some will believe it, others won't. Won’t believe what? “Conclusions: Clusters of sporadic CJD cases may occur in regions with CWD-confirmed deer populations, hinting at potential cross-species prion transmission. Surveillance and further research are essential to better understand this possible association.” Causation hasn’t asserted, only a few limited instances of correlation. A quick google search shows that roughly 500 people are known to die of CJD in the U.S. every year, and have for a very long time. Two of them happen to be deer hunters from a CWD area? At this point it can’t be ruled out, but we’re far from being at the point where people should start “believing” they are going to contract CWD from eating deer meat.

Got the kids out and found 75 more today. Some dried up, some new and fresh.

170 whoppers tonight. Only covered a small portion of the property, but did hit the likeliest spots.

We’re having a little get together at my house. Roasting dogs and s’mores. Everyone is local, so hopefully no trouble with traffic.

Heard some gobbling from the deck this AM. When we left the house at 0800 there were 3 longbeards, 4 jakes, and 1 hen hanging between my property and the neighbors fields.

I thought the DNR response would be apocalyptic, I am absolutely relieved to read those words from the biologist.

Dang, sounds pretty rough.
Good news is, turkey time is just beginning, and it’s got to get better from here!

I got my soil sample results back from Whitetail Institute, thought I’d share what one of their reports looked like. I like that I can tell them what I want to plant, and they give me exact lime and fertilizer recommendations. Overall the soil in this new plot is not bad, a lot better than it was in my main food plot when I established it. This area is about 1/3 acre currently, so a few bags of lime and fertilizer and should be good to go.

I bet a quota would of zero would trigger a lawsuit, but who knows.
I don’t necessarily like how it happened, but I am happy that we are getting a season.
I don’t know about running with dogs, that sure sounds fun, but properties are pretty small around here for that style of hunting.
Everywhere I know of with a bobcat season allows night hunting. Not saying they all do, but most.

I mailed some dirt yesterday also. Getting a new plot started back in the woods.

I sleep on a cot 30+ nights a year. I have a generic version of the Outfitter XL and like it a lot. I just have a thin foam pad, but add folded quilts for extra padding and warmth.
After a good tent and a cot, next must-have comfort item is a propane heater.

I’ve still got the PSE if anybody is looking.

I put one in a Mossberg rifle several years ago. I don’t remember a lot about how it went in, but do remember that it was an easy job. I’m happy with it.

Man I’d love to, that sounds like an awesome time. We’ve got a big spring break trip in late March, otherwise I’d probably be in.
Hope you have a good time and knock down a couple toms.

I’ve got several cameras in the area, none aimed right at it though. Maybe I’ll get out and pull cards sometime soon.
