[QUOTE="Lungdeflator, post: 244260, member: 5163"] Maybe is doesn't affect populations, but until there is absolute irrefutable evidence that CWD is not transmittable to humans, I think CWD is a problem. It started small in WI, now its at 30%. In 10 years will it be 80%? Will we still not know if CWD has an affect on humans? Are we going to be hunting deer just to kill them and leave them to rot? I would stop hunting if that is the case, and stopping deer hunting would suck, so that classifies it as a problem for me. It may not have adverse affects on the herds, but the unknown of how it affects humans is a little concerning. Also, it is so very very hard to determine if the results of bait bans and eradication efforts have had negative or positive effects on the spread of CWD. Any kind of "study" or effort in an uncontrolled environment (AKA: Nature) just has too many variables to determine any discernible outcome. At what rate would CWD have spread if they didn't eradicate or instill bait bans? Did eradication "work" but then there was a hard winter and herds were bigger than normal thus had more animal to animal contact and disease spread again? Did bait ban "work" but then there was a drought, so the herds gathered around minimal water sources and spread the disease again? Did they take out 50 of 60 deer in a herd, but just so happened that the remaining 10 deer all had CWD, so they "missed" on that eradication? Too many questions for me to stomp my foot down and say one way or another. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] I blame social media and college education. Back in the 70's half of Americas rural population didn't even know how to spell CWD. [/QUOTE]
