Sep. 13—Wildlife feeding is now formally off limits in parts of Spokane County under a new rule announced Thursday as part of the state's fight against chronic wasting disease.
When infected deer congregate at an artificial feeding site, they could easily infect other deer that visit the same site. “It’ll facilitate more rapid transmission of disease,” says Fuda. 4.
A graphic shows detections of chronic wasting disease in wild and captive deer in Wisconsin. The data spans late 2001 to early 2023.
Optimal foraging theory has been used to predict animal behaviour when searching for food, but can also be used for humans (specifically hunter-gatherers). Food provides energy but costs energy to obtain. Foraging strategy must provide the most benefit for the lowest cost – it is a balance between nutritional value and energy required.
It slows to less than half its muzzle energy at 100 yd (91 m), which is below the minimum recommended energy threshold for taking large game. The minimum recommended muzzle energy is (1,000 ft⋅lbf (1,400 J) for deer, 1,500 ft⋅lbf (2,000 J) for elk, and 2,000 ft⋅lbf (2,700 J) for moose).
Eastern moose are the third largest subspecies of moose only behind the western moose and the Alaska moose. Males stand on average 1.7–2.0 m (5.6–6.6 ft) at the shoulder and weigh up to 634 kg (1,398 lb). Females stand on average 1.7 m (5.6 ft) at the shoulder and weigh on average 270–360 kg (600–790 lb).
Hunters can donate legally harvested deer meat to help feed hungry Hoosiers. These programs had been on the decline with fewer donations, but recent years have seen a big increase with donations ...
Animal feed is an important input to animal agriculture, and is frequently the main cost of the raising or keeping of animals. Farms typically try to reduce cost for this food, by growing their own, grazing animals, or supplementing expensive feeds with substitutes, such as food waste like spent grain from beer brewing .
