I don't belive in planting food plots, bait OR feeders!! CWD was first found in Colorado in a game farm, where animals were in close proximity to each other. Many cases of CWD have come from areas where there are game farms. I belive that food plots, feeders, or bait have the same effect. It concentrates deer and other anmals into aspecific area all of the time. Add the humid climates in the Eastern US, and you have a recipe for disaster in my opinion. Of course, being from a state with 90% public land, and not having the opportunity to bait, plant food plots, or put up feeders, I see things a lot differently than other people do. I also think that deer coming into farmers fields to eat the crops, etc, have LESS of an effect as far as disease spread is concerned, because deer are not confined into such a small area, and can spread out as they wish, not be forced into a specific spot on the map. So, I have no problem with hunting on farmland and such, providing the farm land is there for other reasons. Even if people leave parts of the original habitat for cover for wildlife, etc, it is ok with me, providing there is nothing specifically brought in that was not part of the original landscape.
