Many years ago there were a series of threads on HNI against canned hunting facilities. The place that brought it all out was in northern NY state. The facts remain that having any kind of captive deer or elk farms add to the chance of CWD to show up. In many cases the disease spreads from that facility into the wild animals. Once it appears it never leaves since the prions that carry it remain in and on the soil and are possibly re-transmitted. The business of canned hunting must have a large lobby since there are still many states that allow that kind of business which stands to degrade the hunting opportunities for the general public. Canned hunting had a dual edge which is the chance of promoting CWD in addition to the ethical argument as something detrimental to the pursuit of wild game in fair chase. In addition, canned hunting facilities are often the source of wild hogs getting into the wild. Once out there they can't be eliminated. There is nothing good about canned hunting operations other than the selfish business opportunities it gives the owners.
