Do nothing and see how long it takes to double again. [:' (] I' ve lived a year in the E zone, I know what the people in the new area are feeling. Lets face it, we said if exstensive testing showed it was confined to a relatively small area and not state wide, we would act. Its as confined as its gonna get. I suppose one could just stop answering the phone on friday nights once the test results come. Both my calls came on a friday. My buddies came on friday. My neighbors came on friday. Ever get any really bad news over the phone? Kind of like what I imagine the cancer patient feels when he gets the call from his doctor. Do nothing and we' ll see how long it takes to come to your happy hunting grounds. Just don' t freekin cry to me when it does.

As for baiting; I read today that, in every instance where a deer was orally given CWD prions, they developed CWD. Baiting encourages mouth to mouth, and nose to nose contact. It was just increasing the risk of CWD and other disease. I didn' t bait, and I' m not gonna miss it. As far as I' m concerned, scents and lures should go too. Until they can assure us they don' t come from infected captive cervids, they should go. Use an artificial lure or scent if you must, most the **** out there is junk anyways.
