    Bend is great. We did a lot of camping there, and I miss getting my ass kicked fishing the Metolius.

    Portland Oregon

    I lived in Vancouver WA for a while. Portland is the worst city I've experienced in this country. You can see trash and needles strewn along the sides of the highways from Portland all the way to Seattle. Enormous homeless camps butted right up to school parks and playgrounds and at nearly every...

    Woah Brah... We're not alone...

    I'll check that out as well.

    Dead mouse in my truck

    You check the serpentine belt? This happened to a friend in CO and the rat was stuck in her belt. Guts went everywhere.

    Woah Brah... We're not alone...

    I'll check him out. FWIW, I'm not saying that I don't believe the guy, because I do believe what he's saying. I just wish he had more substance to offer. I wish he could say "I was part of the retrieval team, I saw these beings / aircraft firsthand".

    Ongoing Research on Transmission of CWD to Humans

    I suppose no source is a good enough source these days, with everyone combing over their "approved political sites" checklist before allowing themselves the bandwidth to actually reason about the research and move into civil discussion. Regardless of your feelings about MPR being the source, the...

    Ongoing Research on Transmission of CWD to Humans

    No doubt. If it becomes transmissible to cows and pigs and starts to have an impact on the food supply chain, say goodbye to "deer management". They will cull like crazy and I'd imagine every state would have a lottery for tags and spikes would be the new 8 point. This is just another reason I...

    Ongoing Research on Transmission of CWD to Humans

    Tick exposure is big one for me as well. They're really bad up here. Whether I'm fishing, scouting, mushroom hunting, or just hiking and camping, I always seem to have at least a couple on me when I check myself. I had one drop right into my buttcrack last year while bank fishing 😂. Always do a...

    Ongoing Research on Transmission of CWD to Humans

    It has nothing to do with someone not sharing my view. It's about responses being off-topic and deliberately condescending and unproductive. I'm trying to keep the thread on track. There are boneheads in this forum that want to turn every discussion into a political shitshow. In this discussion...

    Quitting Alcohol

    There are decaf coffees and teas, but they are never truly caffeine-free, a small amount of caffeine will always be present. For true caffeine-free tea, it has to be herbal tea (ie not Camellia sinensis). I grow peppermint, spearmint, chamomile, lavender, stevia, etc. in my garden. They all make...

    Ongoing Research on Transmission of CWD to Humans

    I would imagine prevention would be the best bet. For example, not messing with the spine or head while field dressing, and then having a separate kit for retrieving the lymph nodes for testing. I have both a Havalon and an Outdoor Edge replaceable razor knife. I originally bought both to...

    Ongoing Research on Transmission of CWD to Humans

    I think the spinal fluids / brain matter thing may be more a matter of preventing the spread of CWD in general, and not so much avoiding consumption of it. Exposing the brain and spinal fluids maximizes the amount of prion exposure dispersed, which would make for a nightmare with respect to game...

    Ongoing Research on Transmission of CWD to Humans

    You are one thick-skulled individual. Not a single person in this thread has been "freaking out" over CWD, and.. yet again, we are discussing CWD - not GMOs, steroids, Covid, chemtrails, UFOs, or any other whataboutism / off-topic tangent you keep trying to force. This discussion is also not...

    Ongoing Research on Transmission of CWD to Humans

    Agree with everything you said. I've been doing gutless and leaving the carcass where it lies just like you stated. This year my deer ran onto private, but the landowner was a great guy and didn't mind me leaving the carcass in his woods. I take a snow sleigh with paracord and game bags with...

    Ongoing Research on Transmission of CWD to Humans

    One section of the article mentions that if CWD were to start infecting humans, it would result in a large decline in deer hunts, which would actually make the situation even worse. CWD seems to be correlated with overpopulation (see southern Wisconsin, NE Iowa, and SE Minnesota), so not hunting...

    Ongoing Research on Transmission of CWD to Humans

    For one, I didn't ask for anyone to be banned, so calm down. You responded to a thread about CWD research with a comment about "covid ridiculousness". We aren't talking about Covid (which we all know is political), we are talking about CWD. Lastly, my comment wasn't alluding to only you, even...
