CWD in Az.

[billrquimby]

That is sad.  I saw one in that unit slobbering, walking in circles and acting like it might be blind during September.  It was a spike.  I never thought it had CWD though, I just thought he had a rough night trying to rut or something.  I hope G&F looks into this.

Back in the 1950s and early 1960s, Game and Fish was worried about a disease supposedly transmitted by deer to elk that caused elk to go blind. The publicity about elk blindness may have equalled the current flap about CWD.

 

There were quite a few elk infected, we were told. Funny thing, deer numbers in our elk country declined over the years since then while elk numbers exploded. Go figure.
