Proposed Rule Change Comment Period Open

[Oklahomabassin]

Is Oklahoma going to put in an approved disposal at major entry points? If a head must be carried with meat or quartered carcass in one state but can't be brought into the hunters home state, what is acceptable for disposal?
Can I prop it up next to the Welcome to Texas sign?

 

[retrieverman]

Unless there are checks at every point of entry, how does ODWC expect enforce these rules?

The honor system?

Yep prions.

Parvo is a virus (like AIDS) Prions are an entirely different animal all sterilization methods used against bacteria or viruse won’t inactivate the prions. Not sure radiation will inactivated them, scrapie, BSE (mad cow), are all scary stuff, prions are a rogue protein and from what I can tell they know very little about how it’s starts or spreads. I mean what do you do with a pathogen you can’t kill / inactivate

Burn 'em. Completely to ashes.

Supposedly there has been some conflicting research redarding whether or not prions cause CWD. Supposedly , 5 to 10 percent of deer that have CWD don't have prions present. New theories suggest that bacterium likely initiates the disease process and stimulates the formation of prions.

I hope that Oklahoma isn't going to over react until more is known.

The transport ban will also affect companies like Skulls Unlimited in OKC since a lot of their business is mail order.
