I would say that is a fairly common occurrence when CWD shows up. Taking it further the F&W Department is suddenly faced with having to take measures like testing animals killed by vehicles and also testing legally harvested animals to see how widespread the epidemic is. Some places have hired people to deplete the herd and in one cases in a mid western states they killed all the deer in the hot zone hoping to stop the spread. All these things takes money and then when people decide to not buy a license since they won't hunt in a CWD state it further bankrupts that F&W Department many of which are self funded. Early on they all said there is no crossover between the infected animals and people. I am now wondering if that statement was a purposeful lie.
