BEST BOW for KIDS!!! - (UPDATES on Iowa Deer Herd and CWD)

[@ExperiencedNovice2024]

Stepdads are a special kind of hero.

[@justinduncan1530]

I love watching you get those boys outdoors and talking about cwd and ehd was something all us hunter’s need to help out with keep up the good work

[@Steve-en8if]

Love these informational videos. Great job on this and the Mississippi State Deer Lab videos. Keep um coming. Also great job Aaron getting the boys out there. Would love to see some hunt videos with these youngsters.

[@veteranoutdoorsman9978]

Wisconsin was not the first state with CWD. It was discovered in Colorado. first in captive deer in the 60s then wild deer in 1981. Was in Wyoming in the 90's.

[@dannymattison1953]

I've got the original bear cruzer. I've had it 4 years now I love the bow. It's another great quality budget bow put out by bear. I've shot bear bows for years can't go wrong with bear archery

[@singuyenvan790]

Packaged nicely, shoots great I upgraded the rest to a fall away and my grouping has been more consistent than ever. Sight is still true, and the thing has over 500 arrows thru it easily. Highly recommend for newbies or even advanced archers looking for a “truck bow” something to just throw around or lend to your buddies.

[@daultonhuskey2804]

great to see kids getting involved! You sir a good man!

[@mikecarr9490]

Great interview very interesting and informative, but that smile for the bullseye...priceless

[@PatriotPopp19]

Im 34 now..I bought a Bear Cruiser G2 as my first Bow few years ago and obviously it was a little small for me even being a small guy but my local shop tried 4 or 5 different times and couldn't get it to tune right i dont know if it was them or the bow. But I sold it and bought a Hoyt Torrex and still havnt been able to hunt with it. It's Killin me

[@jefferyburch4808]

Good information! That's why I like watching yall Are the number 1!! Yall keep it real 💯.

[@masterski03]

Set up my 9 year old son 2 years ago with the original cruzer. Fantastic bow. He actually hit 42#s draw weight this summer and will be trying to take a deer with it. He has taken 2 deer with a crossbow but now ready to step up lol 😂

[@davecarroll9715]

Very educational. Thank you for doing this interview.

[@wibuckfever7764]

I wish he would specify in WI is free range vs game farms! I know most CWD detected in the northern part of the state is thanks to game farms!

[@veteranironoutdoors8320]

Wrong. Deer farms were the first to detect it, because they are taking care of their animals.

[@petegraf7760]

Exactly. Deer farms are under extreme scrutiny, and testing is required to run a game farm. The finger pointing has to be placed on someone, because the true answer is simple. It's been here all along. My guess is some graduate from some college decided their thesis would involve this particular prion. It was discovered like it is in many mammals, and boom, special interest groups found a reason to insist that hunters comply to herd reduction. Let me throw this one at you, and ask if it makes sense? Let's eradicate the deer herd to eradicate CWD. Or should we allow nature to decide whether the herd will build an immunity to the disease, which has been shown to be true in 60% of the herd? Do not fall for this scare tactic.

[@wibuckfever7764]

Per Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection. Oconto County-2016 thru June 2022 wi farm raised deer positive infections are 457. Same time frame for wild deer herd infection is 1.

[@benjaminwilson1732]

Deer farms are high density and common feeding areas (auto-feeders). Any disease will quickly spread under these conditions. Wild deer frequent the fencelines and blowdowns let infected deer escape into the wild to continue the spread. Double fencing should be mandatory for these farms.

[@jameswalters4358]

Loved the discussion as usual.

[@daveyboy8907]

Remember the dnr was telling us deer had convid also..😆

[@iowaprepper742]

Awesome video. CWD is a scary disease. If it’s brown it’s down!!! They are all trophy’s wrapped up in the freezer. Good luck this season!!!

[@wiscokid9890]

Buddy just drew a gun season tag for Iowa. Took 4 years. He's never been down there and limited time to hunt. See how he does. I think I'm gonna start putting in

[@jeffritenourjr5598]

That's awesome..It's hard to get some kids into this sport and it's great to see. And as far as CWD I know here in PA some butchers won't even take deer from certain country.

[@russellwatters5891]

Getting the boys set up and tuned was cool, I remember my 4..lol Talking about the diseases with a knowledgeable person was interesting, and I remember alot of diseases have been around in my lifetime. Citrus Canker, Bruscelosis, Mad Cow, CWD, to name a few. I'm not sure if there are patterns to these, but it's hard to understand how they are not only spotty in certain states, but how the disease jumps missing counties and or states. I personally don't understand it. Love what ya'll do for sure.

[@garrettstraffon608]

One guy made a comment about pesticides and deer repellent spray on plants and they spray deer repellent in large numbers and it started in the 90s. They should look into stuff like this

[@russellwatters5891]

@@garrettstraffon608 A point to ponder, like Deet on our bodies for insect repellent? I don't want to open a can of worms, but I've been an exterminator for over 40 years, and all my children have been born naked with hair. Sometimes Mother Narure takes control, it's not caused by man

[@kurtshinn9498]

That was Great !! Very informative, Thanks

[@lyleswavel320]

Yes teaching the next Generation

[@James.712]

CWD, in addition to lobbyist (firearm, agricultural, insurance, outfitters), and politicians are the greatest threat to the Iowa deer herd.

[@jeepfamoverland]

I got the wife (never shot a bow in her life) and the kids Diamond Infiniti Edge pros so they can build their strength up but also are able to use these bows for years to come until they want to upgrade to a higher end bow if they choose to

[@justinbarbour1638]

Was Nick Andrews 1st combat engineering battalion at Camp Pendleton, CA? I saw the tattoo. Semper Fidelis!

[@trapper9875]

The deer population in my area of NY has been impacted severely by EHD for the past 3 years, it’s tough. Scouting new areas north of me

[@MeetMe-at-TheCreek]

I'd like to share something I've been wondering for a few years. With all the landscape companies who spray incescticides and pesticeds. And deer are constantly eating those plants. Also applying deer repellent and after 2-3 wks that fades off and they also eat those shrubs/lower tree branches. Would like to know if anyone is looking into this. I'm very familiar with the tree/shrub spraying and the chemicals are potent and it should be looked into. As a hunter I've always thought this can't be good. The amount of companies doing these treatments are large in numbers and it seems to have started in a large scale across the country in the 90s. Seems like all these problems started in the 90s to present. It's concerning but what wildlife commission will go up against let's say.. Monsanto etc.?

[@jordanerickson4858]

This is something to consider based on his description of what CWD is. Wouldn't hurt to talk to your local Game and fish about testing for pesticides and herbicides in the meat. If they have not tested for that already

[@garrettstraffon608]

Yea they don’t look into the things they should actually look into. Like he said “they depend on the hunters”.

[@chuck8586]

Damage from chemical toxins would show up in the liver/kidneys, not so much the brain where cwd damage shows up

[@michaelhanke7732]

I would love to go and take an atlerless deer in Iowa but I'm going to spend 400 dollars for the tag. Cwd didn't start in wisconsin it was Colorado.

[@michaelvstheworld3680]

Best bow for kids is the Mission Switch. From 18" to 30" on the draw length and 11 to 70 lbs on the draw weight. I told my son that is the only bow I am buying him ever.

[@nathanh3975]

I’m 15 and I love mine

[@markvincent8964]

Great video good to see the kids excited at the flight of the arrow cwd is in pa now kinda feel like the state isn't as prevalent as testing as I believe they should be my wife's uncle just passed away from cjd the human form hunted multiple states all his life Dr's actually mentioned that it may have been from venison consumption very scary for us who feed our families with wild meat I think testing should be mandatory to prevent even the possibility of this happening

[@tinfoiltim7593]

Bear G2 cruzer adult bow for my son! Limb pockets squeek when you draw it! Have to send it back I guess

[@kylezimmerman2517]

So let me get this straight.. you can buy antlerless tags every year as an out of state hunter in iowa? And as long as there are tags available you can buy multiple?

[@bowhuntingleprechaun5268]

Hahahahahah a Tim Wells reference!!!

[@marksamluk9879]

G2 I had the same green one. Great 👍 bow

[@daveyboy8907]

Convid for the deer.

[@zacchurch502]

Quick question, I’m about to get my sons their first bows. What age are those boys now? I’m wondering if mine are strong enough to start.

[@papabones-p8o]

@Zac Church: I would take them to a reputable archery shop and see if they can pull them back and then take it from there, the bows now days are very adjustable and it depends on the kid not necessarily the age, IMO. Good on you for getting them started! "KEEP ON KEEPIN ON"

[@TheHuntingPublic]

8 and 10

[@derrickwarner9578]

I would love to see the facts and the study showing a live deer testing positive with cwd and that deer dying from cwd before the age of 8. I would love the site to find that information. Thank you.

[@chuck8586]

One of many many many articles you can find with just a simple google search. peer reviewed and published bioone.org/journals/wildlife-biology/volume-2018/issue-1/wlb.00437/Chronic-wasting-disease-detection-and-mortality-sources-in-semi-protected/10.2981/wlb.00437.pdf

[@mattstark44]

I'm curious if the Iowa DNR ever tests Coyotes? Besides humans they consume deer as well. CWD to my knowledge has never jumped species. I may have heard scientists did it in a lab with mice. I'm one that will continue to eat deer without testing.

[@veteranironoutdoors8320]

No deer have survived cwd? Tell that to the deer farms. They have found that the prions are caused by blood being acidic. They found fixing the PH of the blood using humic and foilic acid supplements has lead to cwd going into remission and the deer putting on weight and continuing to live unaffected.

[@chuck8586]

😂😂😂

[@lesbanister3626]

Guess I should have watched the whole video! Question answered!

[@lesbanister3626]

Not sure if this is legit and besides I don't know how to text without a contact.

[@chuck8586]

For anyone who likes to think cwd is a bunch of bull, or nothing too much to worry about. Hey remember its not just North America, or even just whitetail, dealing with this. Cwd is present in Europe(Norway and Sweden), in moose and reindeer

[@Twitchisatrick]

Maybe someone can come out with a at home test kit for the diseases if I had money to invest in something like that I would

[@keving2371]

Good podcast ,....I know the cwd has been beat to death but ,,,,Iowa found it in 2013 .....How long do they think its been on the landscape before finding it ? ......And where do they think it came from ,,aside from neighboring states

[@ericjenson7734]

Ask them why they kill the whole heard and don’t find anymore deer with it. That’s the reason there is no public involvement in testing

[@duncanrickert7987]

Great video!

[@duncanrickert7987]

Miles has pretty good form!

[@AndrewPorter10]

I have a bear cruzer g2 as well. Its a great bow for anyone.

[@dablaugntximntxub2318]

i’ll tell you one thing about cwd.. i been helping with the hunters education classes and this is my advice to the new hunters in wisconsin… i told them if you see a lot of asian doing them stop eating cwd deer, because we asian cook and consume everything in the deer especially the spinal cord bones, stomach, intestines, heart liver even uses everything except the main not edible bones

[@codyg8255]

I met Zach and Ted there at the tehrd event

[@lukesands4394]

How much did the bows cost?

[@craig5649]

You've probably already consumed some CWD venison. It could even be what's wrong with Zach. 😜

[@fakeleon19]

Awesome channel

[@ML-ks2lj]

I'm more concerned as to when will cwd be able to transfer to humans.

[@michaelrichardson9372]

I notice most of you guys shoot black arrows that look as if they have aluminum diamond plate on the sides of the shaft. I really like them, what kind of arrows are they ?

[@lesbanister3626]

Does baiting increase the spread of CWD?

[@chuck8586]

It certainly can. And is generally outlawed where cwd has been detected. The reason its bad, is it gets larger than normal quantities of deer visiting an abnormally small spot. Since cwd can stay active on the soil for up to two years, if a cwd positive deer is visiting your bait pile, another deer that visits can very easily pick it from mucus or saliva left by the positive deer.

[@dennybirchfield]

Can they get EHD from water

[@justmeva]

OH!!! Should have let him throw it!!!😂😂😂

[@jimk59]

Not sure how single bite bait (corn) would be more harmful to the deer than licking branches, agriculture and normal social deer activity.

I might could actually shoot one of those bows lol

Mud puddles and stagnant water are factors with EHD. You have them confused.

[@bowhuntingleprechaun5268]

First English comment 😂

[@CNCoutdoors]

Get rid of deer farms. I don’t know all of the facts but most of Wisconsin cwd cases started because of deer farms. Wisconsin dnr is punishing the hunters because of what the deer farms have created.
