Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) and special guest, Yale researcher, Dr. Laura Manuelidis. Very few independent Wildlife Biologists have taken an in-depth, independent deep dive into CWD and arguably none have studied the history of CWD politics more than private Wildlife Biologist Jason R. Snavely, CWB. Even fewer read the actual data; the lost science! In this episode, Jason highlights where research took the wrong turn and why hunters and sporsment are so frustrated with the decisions made by state wildlife agencies, in the name of "CWD management". Most importantly, he reveals a scientist who has some very good data that show that the prion theory falls flat on its face. This is the only work of its kind that examines why researschers have accepted, hook line and sinker, the "Prusiner Prion Theory"; a theory built by one man and defended by his tight group of scienfic cronies and collaborators. Dr. Stanley Prusiner leavened the TSE research field, in the name of fame and money, to the point that no one talks about infectivity, the slow virus science and the true infectious agent; UNTIL NOW!
CWD: What's THE REST OF THE STORY? Are you confused about Chronic Wasting Disease or perhaps you disagree with what you're hearing. There seems to be a plethora of "experts" who aim to "educate" sportsmen about CWD but why haven't we made any traction on CWD in free-range deer herds? It's a fact that deer farmers have gained ground, reducing CWD prevalence but the mainstream media would lead you to believe just the opposite: That deer breeders are super spreaders! This is FALSE and truthfully, so is most of what yoo hear about CWD. Jason pays tribute to the great Paul Harvey in his approach to explain why the "prion" theory has misled science while researchers fail to produce resesarch that actually helps deer managers and state agencies make incremental improvements in the management of the disease. Isnt' it time we ask: Where did we go wrong and are we barking up the wrong tree?
The multitude of the sick shall not make us deny the existence of health (Emerson, 1860). Let's focus on the individual animals that remain healthy, while others struggle. Wildlife that harbor diseases wihtout showing symptoms of being diseased is the epitome of health! The presence of a pathogen IS NOT the same as the presense of the disease. In nature, the weak die...in society we're always looking at saving the unhealthy. Unfortunatley, it's a moral crime to admit that the weak will in fact succumb to something; it makes the species as a whole much more fit. Modern wildlife struggle to self-medicate, nourish and maintain robust immune systems because of ecological dysfunction (habitat destruction, mismanagement, toxins, domestic animal diseases). Scientists around the world regularly report that wild animals are infected with pathogens (disease-causing organisms) with ABSOLUTELY NO SYMPTOMS WHATSOEVER! Let's focus on WILD HEALTH....
Do wild turkey poults prefer to forage in food plots managed with regenerative techniques or conventional techniques? What about old field management? Jason sits down with MSU graduate student Will Fowler (his first podcast EVER) to discuss Will's ground-breaking research using imprinted wild turkey poults to study foraging ecology in different food plot treatments. If you manage for wild turkeys on your property, this is a MUST LISTEN!
Jason talks with Luke Resop, graduate student at Mississippi State University, about updates on his regenerative VS. conventional food plot research. They also dive into quail and turkey research as Luke shares some teasers about the new turkey foraging research in regenerative food plots.

A premium food plot starts with premium seed. We've got you covered with Drop-Tine Seed. However, even the best seed will struggle if you don't invest some time getting to know your drill and making sure that it's set up for precise seed placement. This is one of the most all-inclusive single-source podcasts you'll find on how to fine tune your no-till drill to plant the perfect food plot.
In this episode, we share Jason's 2024 Springfield MO presentation that earned him a challenge coin from an American warrior in the crowd. Jason has noted, on numerous occasions, that this is the greatest 'thank you and recognition' that anyone could present and as many of you know, receiving a challenge coin from an American warrior is a great honor. Enjoy as Jason speaks to a welcoming Springfield MO crowd of farmers, ranchers and sportsmen about wild health, food plots, and 'the how and why' behind Dr. Rick Haney's now famous quote: "Plants fix dirt". Learn how Jason built the Drop-Tine Seed Co. and how his "citizen science" steers the product line. Jason discusses his discovery of "weak commodity seeds" that don't do well in healthy, regenerated, and biologially robust soils and he challenges his colleagues to focus on a new discipline of wildlife management known as Functional Ecology and Management - aimed at addressing the underlying causes of wildlife disease and ecological dysfunction...not merely addressing symptoms of the underlying causes. CWD is the perfect example!
