Kirk, that statement by beaver jack is so absurd I'm not sure it deserves a reply. CWD did not originate on game preserves it started in the deer population and spread to elk. Where it came from is anyones guess but I personally wouldn't be surprised to find out that it was purposely introduced. Maybe I'm paranoid, maybe I'm not. Banning game preserves because of CWD is like banning cattle ranches because of mad cow desease.
