[QUOTE="fairchaser, post: 5220904, member: 10373"] That’s interesting BSK. I like numbers too although I’m not that privy to all the information on Ames. That’s a good baseline for measuring the impact of CWD. At 8% and an average of 36 bucks, you might have 2-3 mature (4 1/2 or older ). After CWD becomes endemic, that number gets cut in half, at least. We know that 50% of the bucks tested are positive. That doesn’t count the ones that died from CWD or other causes. When you look at how few bucks make it to maturity then how few have above average racks the number gets pretty small. Throw CWD into the mix and those few above average mature bucks have one more obstacle to overcome. Just because people are still seeing “good bucks” doesn’t mean CWD isn’t having its effect.
