Well i understand that but CWD only seems to effect souther and midwestern deer..The pa deer population is too healthy. thats why we have so many. Pa population of deer is 1.25-1.5 million.

RE: why did michigan ban baiting
Well my friend if you would like to come to pennsylvania or just get pictures...you can see the deer population in PA is extremely health CWD happens when overpopulation meets under Vegitated areas colorado and montana are perfect examples not lots of vegitation compared to pennsylvania or tennesee or places like that. And im not saying that only southern deer but ive seen missouri deer with this problem. Ive never seen a deer in a well vegetated area with this disease..I might be mistaken but if im wrong ill admit my error.

Well said. I have heard that Michigan has one of the largest deer populations in the states. We pump approx. 50 million into the economy each year. I am sure we wouldn't be doing this if it wasn't needed.

Well as i said earlier i was mistaken when i read that article and if you read that post you would have known i admit my mistake. Now CWD has never been discovered in PA and illinois is mostly corn fields. And wisconsin has long harsh winters and vegetation dies early there. Ive been to both states numrous times being a truck driver i travel more then a lot of people. So you can think of it as you wish.

Baiting is unethical and isn't hunting...you aren't "hunting" anything. Lots of states have banned all sorts of baiting including any sort of preseason feeds...I know for a fact here in PA if your caught feeding anything to deer its a $5000 fine. I have a friend who was caught on camera putting corn in a trough and the fish and game officer wrote him the fine on the spot.
