[QUOTE="KDM, post: 81527, member: 314"] Let's see....EHD whacked lots of deer all across the midwest that were clinically verified and I see no regulatory interventions being demanded to combat that disease. Conversely, CWD has been DETECTED....let me say that again....DETECTED in several states, but has yet to be determined to be the cause of any significant wild deer mortality. IMO people killed more deer because CWD was detected than CWD would have killed if it was left alone to run its course. There are STILL lots of deer in the areas where CWD was found. IF and I mean IF, CWD is the Armageddon of the deer herd some people want to make it out to be, how can deer survive???? Couple this with the indeterminate scientific data where even the researchers admit that even they, don't understand this ailment and it's causal agent (the prion), let alone it's short term or long term impact on a deer herd and I fail to understand why people scream that drastic control measures need to be taken to control this condition and it's spread. This, to me, is nothing more than a POLITICAL agenda push based on fear and emotion rather than scientific fact. I smell another anti baiting and anti hunting thrust from the usual suspects that failed in their previous attempts. Until I see peer reviewed, repeatable, and reproducible scientific data defining the causative agent (prion), it's biological mode of action, methods of spread, and effects on a dynamic deer herd, CWD will remain a chicken little "The Sky is Falling" excuse to try to push a political agenda.
