[QUOTE="Lungdeflator, post: 244265, member: 5163"] KDM, would you eat a deer that you know has CWD? That is really what it comes down to for me. At this point, I don't think I would. This isn't 1967 anymore, WI didn't have 30% infection rate in 1967, WY didn't have 38 million acres affected in 1967. Deer are herd animals, the more that have the disease the faster it will spread right, a classic case of exponential growth? Will WI see 50% infection rate in the next 5-10 years? Point being, the more deer that are out there infected with CWD, the better the odds are that I shoot one and have to throw it away. Eradication is very extreme to me, not sure if I totally agree with it. But what other measures would you propose to try to slow down the spread of CWD? Baiting- I don't agree with baiting as a hunting method from a personal level so any argument from me that a bait ban will contain CWD is already tainted. I won't mention it again. [/QUOTE]
