Well baiting can get out of hand. I dont care if people bait at all. I do once in a while if things are slow during mid october. Early season I dont feel the need to bait same with during the peak of the rut.
There really is no way to prevent CWD from happening. All the baiting bans do is slow down the spreading process of it. Either way its going to spread wether its through one on one contact, eating off a bait pile, or eating off the same clover field or corn field.
There was an article in one Deer & Deer Hunting Magazine a few years back that reported that in Wisconsin alone, CWD was first detected back in 1968.
CWD pretty much wiped out the elk herd outside Silverton, Colorado back in the 70s and 80s from what I have read as well.
You cant tell me that CWD is bait related....im sure it plays a small roll in the process of spreading it faster but if its there, its there, theres no way to get rid of it until the entire herd is dead....
