[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5705084, member: 17"] Yes, there are some deer that are resistant. One way Nature has made white-tailed deer so successful is through their breeding behavior, which produces massive genetic diversity within localized populations. This provides every population with more "chances" of being adapted to anything that comes along. Years ago, when CWD first started to be researched, it was found elk only have 4 genetic variations of the coding that would affect CWD-resistance. Mule Deer had 6 variations. At that time, it was found whitetails had 83 variations. That's a lot of possibilities for accidental resistance. [/QUOTE]
