Personally I don't think DNR has anything to gain by lying about CWD. Hunters in WI spend 1 BILLION a year on deer hunting. Do you really think that anyone in their right mind wants to loose 1 billion dollars?? Stop thinking up conspiracy theories, CWD is a very serious issue and it must be dealt with before it reaches epidemic proportions. Understand that this disease has the potential of decimating the deer herd throughout the country and we really don't know what it does to humans.
