The thing I wonder about though is if over populationaids the disease Alberta should never have gotten it. Our deer population is minute compared to your states. The state of Texas has more deer than the entire country of Canada. We should not be having an issue with CWD but our F&W claim it is an epidemic. It just irritates me the way our province has slaughtered off our small population.
I believe there is more spreading it than just the deer. It has to be scavengers and predators more than the deer the way it jumps from area to area. Yet we have no bountyy on coyotes or any of the flying scavengers like Ravens and magpies and such.
