No idea - I’ve always thought there’s got to be an environmental component to CWD - something that causes the animals to be susceptible, something that creates prions outside the animals themselves, causes freakishly high intake, etc.

If NW KS is a hotspot, maybe it’s due to what ag or other human activity is happening. Much of human activity is related to the land/geology/climate.

I think AI and big data will eventually get the CWD mystery solved.

I don’t believe it’s due to baiting practices as Brock strongly suggested above. Somewhat of a desperate reach in my opinion. Do hunters in the NW bait far more than anywhere else - so much so that they're to blame???
