[QUOTE="KDM, post: 359114, member: 314"] Wyoming has banned baiting for over 20 years and CWD is spreading by 1.1 million acres every year in that state according to their own info. CWD is still spreading in SD in spite of the bait ban. Perkins county in late 2021 was added to the number of counties in SD with CWD which now stands at 17 counties. And so what??? I think before we worry about the spread of CWD, we should FIRST SHOW IT'S A THREAT!! EHD is a documented threat to white tail populations as shown by a mountain of data and NOTHING is done about that. CWD studies all say might, maybe, possibly, and perhaps and I have yet to read a published paper that proves CWD is a significant mortality factor in white tails or that CWD can infect humans. EHD outbreaks are severe and devastating where hundreds if not thousands of deer carcasses can be found laying around and it's crickets as well as no action, but find a single case of CWD from a recently killed and apparently normal looking and acting deer and it's an all hands on deck full scale hullabaloo panic party where hunters somehow need to get slapped and whacked with the GnF ban hammer. I thought the GnF was supposed to be helping hunters. PFFT, silly me. I keep forgetting that it's 2023 now and politics trump everything else. Carry On!! [/QUOTE]
