If you have hypothetically ONE sick deer and it mills around, browses or feeds in a scattered format, thin it’s possible it could not spread it’s bug so easily. It might get a chance to succumb, develop antibodies or maybe only spread it one other animal.
Maybe Joe Brown Downer takes out the slow mover in his lucky wet dream deer outing.
If your hypothesis leans on a shîtpot pile of deer already infected coming to a communal bait pile and bumping warm noses with a fellow remaining healthy deer then yes, youre going to have a high vector of transmissibility
Depends on what type herd disease it is.
