First off CWD is a joke. I hunt in Sauk county in the CWD zone and there is nothing to worry about. I am willing to bet that CWD has been around for a long time and it hasn't destroyed the herd like they say it will. Why if its going to destroy the herd are they saying that the population is growing and we are still overpopulated? Second they have to stop counting deer in the CWD area during the winter. The deer are grouped up and I know with our area there are roughly 30 deer around and that's all the deer for about 5 square miles. So this comes out to 6 deer per square mile which isn't anywhere close to the carrying capacity. We used to see over 100 deer opening day and now its down to 10-15. The difference between farm land and northern forest is the farmland can handle having more deer because we have crop lands. If the DNR doesn't get that then they should be fired.
