I am headed to. CWD meeting tonight, one of the new positives was only a couple miles away so I got the letter about getting additional tags or allowing MDC to bait/shoot.  I suspect that the number of land owners who voluntarily sign up for deer removals for testing is gonna be low, however will see what they have to say.  I don't have much acreage, and the deer monsters live on neighbors property, they just come over to eat wheat and get shot.
