[QUOTE="KDM, post: 244256, member: 314"] You missed the point lungdeflator. Both bait bans and eradications have been tried and CWD is still being detected in an ever growing area. These methods fail to reduce, contain, or even mildly control CWD. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Comparing Bird flu and CWD isn't even a reasonable comparison. Bird flu and most other influenzas have epidemic/pandemic infection rates, CWD does NOT. Bird flu and other flu has quantifiable human ramifications, CWD has no human ramifications to date. What makes you feel CWD is even a problem for the deer herd? Wyoming has an ever expanding area that has CWD and yet that state is still a premier big game destination with very strong big game populations. Wisconsin has more deer than they know what to do with and they have expanding CWD. MN has strong deer populations in spite of having CWD to the point they have intensive harvest areas where hunters have difficulty reducing the deer herds. Here in ND, the units with CWD have strong deer herds and have had such ever since CWD was detected. The facts that I've presented are NOT a nobody knows or a "what if". They are facts. I have a real difficult time even considering CWD a threat to the deer/elk populations given CWD's ultra low infection rates, the lack of measurable population declines in CWD areas, and the lack of any detectable negative impacts on the deer/elk populations in areas where CWD is found. I'm still trying to figure out what all the fuss is about. Just googled Wisconsin CWD eradication and all the info you need pops right up. [/QUOTE]
