While the culls were going on, most cases were in mule bucks yet it took years of priority for a buck draw but you could get multiple doe tags per year was simply to get deer numbers down.
Baiting to hunt I could care less about but watching deer struggle and starve on heavy snow fall winters and not do something to help is not right in my books.
I guess my point is that the sky is definitely not falling and I don't think anyone is saying that baiting would cause a rampant spread of CWD but we do know for absolute fact that concentrating deer on feed where they urinate and deficate does spread disease more readily...whether that be CWD or any of a long list of cervid diseases. Why take the risk?
