As long as there are crows and buzzards eating sick dead deer the prions will be spread to new areas. It is inevitable.

Wouldn't have happened if you had a 4 point per side minimum on all bucks harvested.

Are you implying the infected deer would all die before they grew 4 points per side? The disease would still spread and destroy the population.

Read the antler restriction in NY thread and you'll understand the sarcasm.

I knew your meaning, we fought the 4 pt rule a few years back, but a few years later it has turned to be the best thing ever, lots more quality bucks, people really like it now!!!

Yeah I am confused by the somewhat random appearance of CWD in counties that are not adjacent to any known cases. In 2014 a case was discovered in Cole County (Jeff City) which put my two counties I hunt (Boone and Moniteau) in the the CWD mgmt zone. I am glad they are testing so extensively and it does not appear to be growing much if at all based on this year's sample size.
