Not sure I'd call a herd with a spreading occurance of CWD fine. Not saying CWD can be traced to baiting or even that there is evidence to support the rate at which CWD spreads in baited vs non-baited populations but CWD is a relative newcomer to western Canada and we haven't even seen the tip of the iceberg yet I don't believe, especially if we look south of the 49th to see their experience. Western Canadian herds are definitely not fine.

I'm not sure there is enough evidence either way to call for a suspension in baiting in Saskatchewan and I don't hear that call too loud yet but there is unquestionably enough evidence to support that it should not be introduced into new areas.
