[QUOTE="Andy S., post: 5795330, member: 131"] Agree, BUT, I want to see the number of deer tested in those counties since then, to have a better understanding of the overall picture. Essentially, what has the sample size been? With known prevalence rates being next to nil in some areas across the country, if they have only tested small number of deer in/around those positives, one positive in a few years could be feasible. I do not have the data in front of me to make an informed decision, but I know TWRA does. On a different note, but pertaining to the "[I]sampling size[/I]" discussion, I know of a lot of "[I]good ole country boys[/I]" who refuse to get deer tested, for [U][B]their[/B][/U] fear of an all out assault on the local deer herd if one were to test positive. That is not helping with the "sampling" per se. I'm all about the sampling to be better informed of where the positives are, but I fully expect QA/QC and oversight of the sampling process, as much as possible, within reason. [/QUOTE]
