Default RE: Massive Deer Feeding Mission in Colorado

Texas has more feeders, breeder pens, high fenced hunting operations, northern influenced deer genetics imported, bait taken deer etc than any other state and still has not a single case of documented CWD.

Trust me, they are looking for it... hard.

All of that really blows all the arguments against feeding out of the water.
Your logics quite flawed, it would be the same as me saying since Iowa doesnt allow baiting and discourages feeding ad we havent had an outbreak of it it proves only states that allow baiting have it, its simply not true, all it means is it hasnt made it to that state yet.Youve essentialy blown nothing out of the water.

Secondly, it dosnt have to be CWD, thiers a lot of nasty stuff that can kill deer thats transmitted by close contact, your saying its not true just doesnt mean a whole lot in the face of all the evidence to the contrary.

And third, one bad winter means a years worth of winter killed deer, CWD and other outbreaks means a year round illness killing deer, they can recover from one bad winter, Id recomend you read up on prions and how hard they are to get rid once theyre in the area, theyre not confined to deer, they can live just about anywhere untill picked up by a host and then be passed on.
