[QUOTE="BSK, post: 4997835, member: 17"] Honestly, I haven't kept up with the latest research on the topic (probably because it's too depressing). But my opinion? CWD will eventually (but slowly) spread through most of the whitetail's world. Over the VERY long term, the white-tailed deer in particular will eventually become immune to the disease through Natural Selection. However, the very slow progression of the disease in individual deer (the slow mortality) will also slow the rate at which Natural Selection works. It may take hundreds of generations to become genetically immune. [/QUOTE]
