Default RE: High fence poll

We have Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) in Wisconsin because of high fenced/bought-and-sold deer (I believe the infected deer came from Colorado if I'm not mistaken). And since fencescan and will fail at some point, some got out and passed it on to the wild deer population. Now we have a large swath of of the population who are either infected with it or at risk. So do I think that there are some inherent and tagic risks involved with high fences? You bet. We've got this disease that affects a very large portion of our hunters and we have high fence operations to thank for that. And don't think that it can't happen elsewhere. By the time that it was found here, it was too widespread and too late to eliminate it.
