[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 4711288, member: 1409"] Or, we may find there have been multiple points of origin, or that occurrences in some counties are not related to occurances in other TN counties. This would be the likely case when CWD shows up in more TN counties, let's just say for example Stewart Co., yet there are several counties with no known cases in between these "hot" counties. IMO, there are just [i]SO MANY [/i]possibilities of how any location could become a new point of origin, and much of these possibilities may be "outside the box" of what we can do to prevent the spread. For example, migrating vultures & eagles eating infected deer, then dropping those prions in another state the next week. Think about this. Deer infected with CWD have 12 months every year to die from it. Hunters only kill "some" of the deer during a period of less than 1/3 this annual timeframe. Most of the CWD-infected deer are not going to be killed by hunters, but are instead just going to die from CWD (unseen by us), then consumed by scavengers, which then spread the prions. [/QUOTE]
