[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5849968, member: 20583"] CWD while been detected out west decades ago, is still very new. Nobody knows anything concrete except that it exists. My question is where is it being tested for that it's not being found? We don't hear about that. We only hear about it showing up where it's tested for, which tells me it's likely in far more areas than not. It's quite plausibly everywhere and always has been. We didn't know because we weren't testing. High fence deer farms show concentrated doses because of concentrated population. Time will eventually tell the story but for now until we know some absolutes, I feel the best approach is simply observation and transparency. I also echo what DR says about habitat management. Good fawning cover and nutrition allows for deer to be as healthy and fertile as possible while we work on learning about the disease. No it's not a cure but it's what we got, something we actually can do. If the herd is doomed like some think it is then it needs every edge it can get, and a healthy high population gives it that edge against a disease that kills inside 2yrs. They can't build an immunity if they no longer exist. [/QUOTE]
