Just curious what everyone would think about land values and the current CWD outbreak ,

 

[MSWING12]

It's hard to say now, the area may be wayyyyy bigger than thought initially.

Dave says real estate is always a great investment.

Dave doesnt hunt

I attended the update this morning at Jasper. It is much worse than they first thought. They have found CWD in yearling fawns, thus the thought that it has been around for 10+ years. They will be looking for road kills and sick deer south to Conway county, east to Baxter county. These includes the Missouri and Oklahoma state line. So, the whole state of Arkansas could see outbreaks due to the time frame that this disease has been in place.

Well that's Dave's mistake, I do enjoy turkeys squirrels and fishing. This area is pretty solid across the board for those critters. Mother Nature isn't always nice. The deer will be fine. Yeah you'll see a decline but it's not the end of the world.

Actually Dave does hunt and owns lots of firearms.
If I could pay cash and it's property I like I would buy it, nothing in this world is permanent, except death.

I'd buy it if i wanted it. But i'd try to use the CWD in my favor while negotiating.

 

[bullcreekboy]

If the land doesn't have CWD now, it probably will have it at some point in the future. Do you want someone else to take the hit, or do you want to take it later?

Choot 'em and cut the horns off!! :thumb:

Buzzards and coyotes gotta eat.

That's my plan maybe pick up a few more acres ,

I wouldn't buy anything for a couple years. If they find it in your area, you can bet you won't have much to hunt.

I don't have many deer to hunt as is. AGFC has been subconsciously curtailing CWD for the last five years.

A stud squirrel dog may be a gold mine in the next couple of years.

I do know Dave visited with me at my table for a half hour last year at the NRA show.
Land is always good.
No telling how far this has spread. Don't swerve boys they need to test it

How does finding it in a fawn make them believe it's been here 10+ years?

 

[dspeakes]

So are you saying I should wait until it is confirmed in Sharp County so I pay less for the property I am wanting to buy?

I'm scratching my head on that one too. I hope someone can give the rationale.

He went on to say that five of the 18 deer that tested positive this week were fawns, which he described as less than a year old.

Carner said doe deer don’t pass the disease to offspring invitro, so those results show the fawns were exposed to the disease in a short period of time after birth. In addition, it will be six months from the time a fawn is exposed until it will test positive for CWD.

Carner said all that data shows the mass-kill technique to manage spread of the disease will have to change.

“We’ve been advanced 10 or 15 years from where we hoped we’d be,” he said.

Ok...that's not the same as saying It has been here for 10-15 years...(although it may have...who knows...and that sort of data can't tell us that). It's more like saying things are so much worse than they hoped it would be even 10-15 years from now. That with fawns exposed at young ages may possibly mean that it is prevalent in their environment. It's not good no matter how you look at it.

prices will plummet IMO because people are going to fear CWD and the association it can have to humans
