Call me crazy if you want. Think about what's going on what happens when the deer populations are put to the limit whereas hunting will be temporarily haltered to conserve remaining populations that will put on the endangered species list. Will you have use for your firearms after, the government try and buy them back haha. Think about buffaloes or bison and American native Indians on what happened to them.Think about this I know bucks will travel several miles to find a doe but I don't think they'll travel from Wyoming to Minnesota or Illinois. A disease may start in one area and spread it does not happen jump all over the country unless it is introduced by man. What to big scare on mad cow disease several years back. Think logically do your research. PS remember the big Ebola scare in Africa and what did they do bring it to back to the US don't hear about it anymore do you even in Africa

This is a great video - I recommend it be published on the IDNR youtube page or on some of the IDNR's CWD info pages. Thanks!
