IMO Mr. Lopez is having more of a profound impact on the hunting culture than any disease ever will. These researchers are running blind using Wisconsin as their laboratory. Hunters are mad as hell over the lack of deer in 2009, now the state wants to continue the slaughter leaving the hunters out in the cold. Good example of how not to manage a deer herd.
"In 2002, the CWD models said we could expect extinctions of deer populations," said Lopez. "But now the models say there would probably be lower population densities, not extinctions."
Lopez, one of the authors of the draft plan, wasn't arguing for a "do-nothing" approach. He said he believes that, left unmanaged, CWD will have a profound impact on the hunting culture of this state.
