Michigan DNR Suspects Fourth Deer with CWD

 

Hunters Encouraged to Keep Hunting and Check Deer

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources suspects that a fourth free-ranging white-tailed deer may have Chronic Wasting Disease in Michigan. The news comes just days before the start of the state’s annual firearm deer season.

The deer, a year and a half old buck, was shot by a bowhunter near DeWitt and detected when the hunter brought the deer into a DNR check station. This is the first deer to test positive for the degenerative and always-fatal disease outside of Meridian Township. The first three deer were all genetically related and found within one mile of each other. The deer was sent to a research facility in Ames, Iowa, for confirmation of the positive CWD test, which could take weeks.

“This makes it more important than ever to keep hunting in the area, check your deer and follow the CWD zone rules,” said Dan Eichinger, Executive Director for Michigan United Conservation Clubs. “It’s up to us as hunters to help the DNR get as many samples as it needs for testing so that we know just how far CWD has spread.”

With the firearm deer season starting Sunday, hunters are reminded that they are required to check their harvested deer within a nine-township Core CWD Area consisting of Alaiedon, Delhi, Lansing, Meridian, Wheatfield and Williamstown townships in Ingham County; Bath and DeWitt townships in Clinton County; and Woodhull Township in Shiawassee County.

The DNR strongly encourages hunters in a broader CWD Management Zone – consisting of Clinton, Ingham and Shiawassee counties – to check their deer and have them tested for CWD as well.

“The firearm deer season is our single best opportunity to collect sufficient samples to understand the extent of this invariably fatal disease,” said Chad Stewart, DNR deer specialist, in a statement.

Because the suspect positive deer was harvested within 10 miles of the Eaton County border, the DNR strongly encourages all hunters within Eaton County to voluntarily stop baiting and feeding, continue hunting, and most importantly bring harvested deer into a DNR check station.

“What we want to avoid here in Michigan is the situation that exists when CWD goes unchecked. There are areas of Wisconsin where almost half of the deer have CWD and can’t be eaten,” said Drew YoungeDyke, Chief Information Officer for MUCC. “That’s tragic. We don’t want that situation here in Michigan, but we’ll have it if we don’t stay vigilant.”

Founded in 1937, Michigan United Conservation Clubs is the largest conservation organization in Michigan. Its mission is to unite citizens to conserve, protect and enhance Michigan’s natural resources and outdoor heritage.

Coonan Introduces New 1911 .45 ACP Pistol

Blaine, MN – Coonan Inc., known for their unique 1911 chambered in .357 Magnum, introduces a new class of 1911 chambered in .45 ACP.

The Coonan 1911 .357 Magnum Auto raised the standards for 1911’s. The new.45 ACP Pistol raises the standards again by applying all of the “Coonan Difference” proven technologies from their 1911 .357 Magnum Auto to their new .45 ACP.

These “Coonan Difference” features, linkless barrel, pivoting trigger, and external extractor, are incorporated into every Coonan pistol. The linkless barrel is more reliable than linked barrels and offers increased accuracy while virtually eliminating feeding issues.

The pivoting trigger’s unique location and motion allows the user more consistent trigger pulls for better accuracy and tighter groups. Every trigger, hammer, sear, and disconnector are crafted at the Coonan facility in Minnesota to their exact specifications. Combined with the pivoting trigger, this firing mechanism configuration allows the shooter a more refined trigger pull and user experience.

The final “Coonan Difference” feature is the external extractor, which is coil spring activated for increased reliability and robustness unlike internal extractors that use leaf springs that can flatten out over time. Recoil operation allows the use of both jacketed and non-jacked ammunition through the 4340 carbon steel hard chrome plate finished barrel.

Scrapped: Maryland ends bullet ID program after 15 years, $5M and zero cases solved

An ambitious gun-control plan by Maryland to catalog the “fingerprint” of every gun sold in the state — making firearms dealers fire a shot and submit the casing — is being scrapped, literally.

State authorities have finally figured out that the bullet ID program, enacted in 2000, cost $5 million, was plagued by technical problems and did not solve a single crime. Now, the 300,000 shell casings, one from every handgun sold in the state since the law took effect, will now be sold for scrap metal.

More of the I could have told you so nonsense is here…
