[QUOTE="fairchaser, post: 5841992, member: 10373"] Ok, I’ll bite. If a herd has 60 deer per square mile and a 50% infection rate. Both of these would be real high, to prove a point. So 30 deer are sick. They don’t all die at once or even in the fall when hunters are present. They die throughout the year. It takes, 12-18 months for a deer to succumb to CWD. Let’s say one deer a month dies on the landscape vs on the road or in a pond etc. They just fall over in the woods. So, now you have to find that deer in a square mile of habitat. That’s before critters get a hold of it or most of it. That deer can be anywhere in that square mile. In high weeds or anywhere. My guess if someone paid us $1000 to find that deer, we’d be hard pressed to come up with it. [/QUOTE]
