Mule deer discussions. I was advised by the local warden about these mule deer meetings. In the Cody Region they start in December. The Powell and Cody meetings are scheduled for a couple of brew pubs. I have no idea why they didn’t use the new Game and Fish office. The warden asked me to attend. I am reluctant to do so. I don’t need another power point presentation from the same old person. Does anyone have an idea why these meetings are being scheduled? Whose idea? What the format will be? Mh

I'm betting they haven't given up on reducing mature buck numbers to lower CWD prevalence. Seems they can't understand we want more bucks not less and yes we still have mature bucks in high CWD areas, they don't want to believe that either.

I have looked at the JCR for the last few years on the CF herd and Upper Shoshone Herd. There is virtually no discussion of predation (wolf, lion, bear or coyote) and the focus is CWD. The JCR used to discuss predation. My recollection is lion, wolf and grizzly bear populations are up in the Cody area. If the meeting I attend turns out to be another “dog and pony show” from the same biologist I will conclude these meetings are just another attempt to seek affirmation and to ignore the public. Just sayin…mh

They want to keep selling people on cwd. Deer numbers dropped well before cwd was a thing.

I have said it before, I give up on the meetings. Minds are made up before we attend. They never want to hear what we have to say especially when it's against their agenda.

My guess for the brewery is they want you to buy some mule deer foundation beer.

It's never good when they do a meeting in a bar. Everyone gets a liquored up before the meeting and starts ****. Nothing good gets accomplished and I imagine that not too many remember what happened the day before.
