[QUOTE="backyardtndeer, post: 5798571, member: 16465"] What are you talking about? If someone brought in cwd infected bones with meat and dumped them, it starts, just as it could start from a buzzard or predator spreading the prions. Once the prions are there in the soil, other deer pick it up and those infected deer start progressing until the point the state sees the problem and goes into their testing protocols. By then it is way too late to know exactly where it started or how many deer are infected. The first deer to contract the disease may have been in Mississippi or in Tennessee. There were likely a lot of deer infected before the first positive test, and they were likely spreading it for years before the first positive test. That's why there were so many being found at [I][B]ground zero[/B][/I] in such a short time. The disease process is not instant. [/QUOTE]
