Here in KY we have a growing elk heard that came from other staes. We have no reported cases of CWD & I hope we never do. If the elk would have had CWD then we would start seeing cases. We no longer bring them in from other states & have a self maintaining heard.

I think the key is to regualte the populations of deer in areas of high density so they do not become carriers. I think a lot of variables are in the mix on this one that no one really knows yet. I hope in the near future they figure what is the true cause of CWD is & what to do with it.

The main key should be hunters not being scared to hunt because of CWD. If you have regions of high densities try to hunt those areas and take plenty of does. The overall health of your deer populations will be better anyway!
