I feel for the hunters in the affected area, it is imperative that we cooperate with IDNR and BOAH. I am bothered that Dr. Marsh seems only concerned with the cattle and dairy industry....."Our status as a TB-free state is critical to our growing and thriving cattle and dairy industries in this state.”
The Deer Hunting sport also supports business all over the state in many ways.
Please take note that BOAH and IDNR urge hunters to use rubber gloves while field dressing animals, notice they did not say deer. TB can be in any mammals harvested by hunters and trappers including coyotes. the days of not wearing gloves are GONE!!!
