Great studies BUT none show a connection between using Natural Deer Scents and the spread of CWD. And since this regulation has come out no one has been able to show a single case it does or a single study that shows cause and effect. Yes prions might cause CWD, I do not deny that, but since the cause of the disease is still unknown then the slicing and dicing process shows nothing. Can you show anywhere that the two Canadian provinces or several states that ban scents have any less incidence of CWD than those that do not. Of course you can not because the data is not there.
Can you even show where the prions are found in the majority of scents used by hunters? No you can not because again no data from studies is available because they have not been done.

As I said do the testing and studies on commercialy available scents and show cause for the ban and then many might be more agreeable to it. Without the studies it is just hunt and peck to find a way to stop the spread of CWD. A disease that even the scientist have yet to find the cause of.
