Just hit the news yesterday. First confirmed case. Found in a mulie in Western MB. As of right now, they are closing the area to hunting completely as they decide what to do. I imagine they'll try the tried and tested and guaranteed to fail method of slaughtering all the animals because that has worked everywhere else. After years of animal mandates to bring the population back after bad winters....

Just like COVID - keep testing and certainly it will show up

Someone actually noticed a mulie acting funny so they shot it and tested it. I'm mostly scared of how the province will react.

I know Jaq keeps saying people have been eating CWD meat with no ill effects for 30 years in Colorado, but then I also hear on this site how Colorado is increasingly overrun with nut jobs...

APaul it is only those that don't hunt and eat wild game that acts like nut jobs here. Well maybe a few like soccermom that post here some, but he brought the nut job part with him from NY and doubt he has the skills to be eating much wild game.

sitO baiting has always been illegal here. Unless you’re indigenous or Métis than you can bait away

" How has Ambush ever killed anything up there then?"
Well, because I actually spend most of my time hunting wild animals in wild places like remote forests and high mountains. Not everybody thinks that hunting crop conditioned whitetails is the only "real hunting".
