Right now I' m not to worried about it. I think that the main reason some people are so excited about it is because we really don' t understand it. We haven' t studied it enough to really know how it can effect a herd. I' ve read some articles were people say that it can completely destroy an areas deer population. I just don' t know if I belive it' s that devestating.

Last summer I talked with a biologist with the Wisconsin DNR, about their CWD problem. He told me that their plan is to try to kill every deer in the infected area ( I belive it is three counties), and try to keep the area deer free for 5 years. To me, that seems like a pretty tall order, but he said that they felt that it was the best way to stop the disease from spreading. Obviously some people ( even some experts) belive that it is a very serious problem.
