[QUOTE="fairchaser, post: 5843747, member: 10373"] I'm not sure anyone really knows how long a deer can live with CWD. There are many factors that would affect the outcome. The deer's age when contracted and its general health. The habitat and dying from other causes. The southern deer herd has milder winters but our subspecies is also different than midwestern deer. Some deer just have a higher tolerance for the disease for some reason. How long does an Alzheimer's patient live? It's hard to say. My non scientific experience with Ames deer is that it's hurting the population and there are fewer older deer especially bucks. Probably the single biggest difference in our deer herd is the deer per square mile which typically more dense than most Midwest and northern herds. Since CWD is typically spread from one deer to another it’s a proximity and density disease. [/QUOTE]
