[QUOTE="ROB, post: 5853165, member: 331"] We certainly have considered that possibility. The KDFWR CWD plan was triggered 3 years ago, when we had our first positive case within 20 miles of the KY state border, a 3 1/2 y/o doe found in Cottage Grove, TN, in Henry County, not terribly far from my home. (I hunt in Henry County every year & have hunted in Cottage Grove before.) Then, 2-3 months later, a healthy acting 2 1/2 y/o buck from Weakley Co, just south east of Dresden, tested positive. So, 5 Kentucky counties became part of the CWD Surveillance Zone, all along the southern border of far western KY, probably 50 miles from where the buck tested positive in Ballard County, KY. However, Ballard County is right on the Mississippi River , across from Missouri, which has CWD. And, the river has been quite low for the past 2 years. So, I think it is likely that the CWD positive buck found in Ballard simply waded/swam the river. KDFWR is doing genetic tests on samples from the buck to see if those will tell. [/QUOTE]
