So they found CWD in Yellowstone, and now think that *may* be a good thing as it *could* get the non-hunting public interested in it enough to increase funding CWD research…I wish I was making this up. The main argument of CWD grifters is that CWD is always fatal (so is living), and that it *may* impact herd sizes, and therefore hunting opportunity.

And I haven’t been able to find the Mule Deer Herd numbers over time for Converse County, WY, but hopefully will soon.
