[QUOTE="hard county, post: 5042645, member: 5081"] I 100% agree slowing and especially stopping the spread is a fools errand. I think the "solution" to limiting cwd's impact is qdm. Whatever we can do as hunters to have a quality herd we should try to do. In my area, where the deer eat shrubs off the sides of people's houses during daylight, I think less is more. Purely anecdotal, but since the cwd work we've done the last two years I've heard quail on one farm I hunt for the first time in several years. I can't help but wonder if browse pressure could be partially responsible. Whatever the "carrying capacity" is for a farm went down by at least 25% in my mind when cwd came into the picture. I don't think we can fight cwd but I do think it makes sense for management strategies to change when such a monumental event happens to an ecosystem. [/QUOTE]
