Deer hunters Missouri Linn County

Linn County MO CWD has been found in live captured deer. County is 25 mile SW of Kirksville. North East corner of state. Any knowledge to share from the area?

Closest I know of CWD is Rockford, Il (located on North IL state line) and area near. IL let the deer hunter with unfilled tags from anywhere in the state use them for a specieal season in the IL CWD areas.

Does Missouri allow baiting/feeded of deer? What I under stand WI did allow baiting/feeded of deer which has been tied to the CWD problem in WI.
 
We had the same problem in Michigan. One opperator had a detect in a confined opperation, now all baiting is banned in the state. Don"t want to start a baiting war on here, but I do know that CWD is nothing to mess around with so any actions they can take to prevent the spread are worth the effort.
 
Missouri has a no baiting law. I.E. bait has to be removed 10 days before season opens or you can not hunt that area. But you can plant food plots and that is not called baiting because it is a grown crop. s for the CWD I have just heard about it and been thinking about calling some people I know in the conservation dept to see what I could find out. Yep I keep up on all the deer hunting laws in Missouri because I do a lot of deer hunting and shoot 5 this past season
 
Live captured doesn't sound accurate. That deer was in a confined pay-hunting ranch population. The official description was captive white-tailed deer at a private hunting ranch in Linn County.

Missouri has a couple hundred of those private hunting places, and several hundred puppy mills. They are kind of a plague on the animal population.
 

Chronic Wasting Disease...

It's pretty bad news - related to Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in humans... And supposedly, humans can catch it in some circumstances...

Yup, but from what I've read, Old's technique isn't considered "hunting"--more like "noisemaking".... :)
 
i cant read anything that points to baiting deer leading to disease...Texas allows deer feeders and we dont have the problem...more n likely its those private hunting lands buying infected stock...just like the morons trapping feral hogs and turning them loose elsewhere that doesnt have hogs.
 
Baiting doesn't cause disease but it would help spread it if it crops up in one animal due to causing close contact between animals. Disease is density dependent.
 
The no baiting started after TB was detected in dairy herds, and was traced to deer in the area. The state destroyed the dairy herds. Bad news for those guys. I think a couple farmers committed suicide over it. A lifetime of work went down the tubes. We had to have our deer examined for TB, then the baiting ban started in select areas. At one time, some of the hunt clubs were setting up monster bait piles, they would attract hundreds of deer at once. One guy told me he had a video that showed 450 deer at one bait pile, all at the same time. These clubs would buy multiple semi loads of corn and bales of hay for the bait piles. Some of these hunt clubs own 1000's of acres and are very exclusive - gotta be a Ford family member, or a exec of some sort. The CWD started after the TB caused the baiting ban. Probably permanent now.
 
Michigan had a contingency plan regarding CWD. When a infected deer was found in a captive herd, they put it into effect. NO baiting in the lower pennisula. Deer was imported from out of state without proper documentation, and when found, owner tried to move it under the cover of darkness. DNR was watching, and owner got a severe penalty.
CWD is a degenerative brain disease which destroys brain/spinal tissue over time. Acts a lot like mad cow disease. It is spread by prions which can be spread through contact with body fluids and excretions. They can stay resident in the soil. While we can"t prevent deer from congregating in the wild, we can avoid baiting, and thus reduce the deer to deer contact that way. Some of the Michigan deer hunters don"t seem to get it. Could be a catastrophic to the deer herd in the future. Not to mention domestic animals.
 
(quoted from post at 11:16:12 03/18/10) Bait for varmints is allowed but not for deer. LOL
