On January 9, 2014 the CT DEEP removed ( 100 deer ) from the contract of the CAES and White Buffalo, Inc. for the ITM study. This amount ( 100 deer ) represents 66.66% of the total ( 150 deer ) $82,737.00 contract price that WB signed for years two and three. White Buffalo`s contract should be paid to reflect the 66.66% reduction of work for years two and three, which comes to approximately ( - ) $55,152.48. This amount ( $55,152.48 ) should be deducted from the contract price. If WB has already been paid for 2014 ( $50,230.00 ) which we believe they have, then they should not be paid the final $ 32,507.00 owned under the current, pending contract for year three services and be required to return the over payment amount of ( $ 22,645.48 ) to the CDC ITM study.
The CAES renewed the White Buffalo, Inc. contract on 1/17/14 without reflecting the CT DEEP changes of 1/9/14, ( minus 100 ) deer change. Why ?
White Buffalo, Inc. is being paid $17,600.00 for deer processing ( butchering ) under the three year CDC ITM study contract. Monies spent to date for ( 28 ) deer, butchered and distributed were $1,680.00 in 2013. White Buffalo was overpaid for deer processing in 2013 and 2014 by $12,720.00 and should be required to return this amount to the CDC ITM study. According to the CAES ( Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station ) records, an Oxford, CT butcher donated the butchering of deer for 2013 & 2014. In 2014 the Oxford butcher received 24 deer but none of the processed meat went to the " Food Bank ", hunger program which is the mandatory guideline protocol required under the " Hunt to Feed " program and the ITM study contract. This is just the latest misstep of the ITM Tick Study in Redding, CT.
White Buffalo shooting out of bounds on both - 19 Top Ledge Road, both in 2013 ( 7 ) deer taken and again in 2014, ( 5 ) deer; ( 12 ) deer taken in total; 2,700` out of bounds ( 1/2 mile ) to West. Seventy Acres Road, both in 2013 ( 4 ) deer taken and again in 2014, ( 7 ) deer; ( 11 ) deer taken in total; 3,580` out of bounds ( 3/5 mile ) to West.
White Buffalo and the CAES by shooting outside the test sites for both 2013 & 2014 and illegally taking ( 23 ) deer from 19 Top Ledge Road and Seventy Acres Road; should not be allowed to kill / take another ( 25 ) deer in year three ( 2015 ) of the contract. The CDC ITM test currently underway in Redding, CT has lost all validity with these illegal actions.

when you say we are waiting to hear, who is we? Sorry, but I don't know if you're afiliate with some organization or if you just mean we, as in bowhunters.
Your info is upsetting! With everything else that is so screwed up in this state should it be any wonder that the WB project would be any different????
I wonder where one would go to find such a person.
Let me know if you need help dragging:)
Do you normally weave basket? Must be some kind of therapy at the home.
couldn't agree more! We hear story after story about politicians taking advantage of donations, or getting bonuses without paying their taxes, or putting friends in high places, and it goes on and on.
Public service has gone from "service to the public" to one of the highest paying careers out there. Politicians go into office poor and come out rich.
