[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5649206, member: 17"] We're never going to stop CWD. I question whether we will even slow the spread. But purely for arguments sake, an acre food plot covers 43,560 square feet. A salt lick or pile of corn covers just 2 or 3 square feet. What are the odds a deer is eating off the exact same square foot as another deer in that acre food plot? Maybe 0.01% What are the odds a deer is eating off the same square foot of a salt lick or bait pile? 100%. That's about a 10,000 times higher risk for the deer eating off the bait pile or salt lick. If eating in a food plot is as dangerous as eating off a bait pile, then in comparison, we need to ban all 300-acre soybeans fields, because it's the same risk as a 2-3 square foot bait pile. See where I'm going with this? [U]Honestly, I wouldn't ban anything[/U]. Nothing will stop or probably slow CWD. I just[B] personally[/B] don't want to do things that absolutely increase the risk.
