This is a joke, as the entire state is becoming. This is not based on sound science. MI has not detected CWD in the wild herd and the handling of the deer farm CWD deer brings up numerous questions (like, where the heck are the samples NOW?). This is all about money, power, and control of the hunting community. It is not about deer. Wake up people.[/quote]
