In this case, CWD is probably spreading North from Montana.
It will be interesting to see how BC tries to manage the disease.

It seems to spread no matter how it’s managed kinda seems like it’s a loosing battle without a cure or slim chance natural immunity
After all the gov't slaughter when outbreaks of CWD happen we still have CWD but we have a whole lot less deer in those areas, not because of CWD but mostly because of the slaughter. Far as I'm concerened it's a waste of time. CWD will go through the herds and the herds will survive with or without it. If CWD is so devastating we should have no deer left regardless of the slaughter. Thinking CWD if far more widespread than we realize and if they tested areas they haven't tested for CWD we would find it. Have often thought that the slaughters kill so many non infected deer that perhaps we are killing the deer that might actually have some sort of immunity to it. Thinking we messing with natural selection by doing this and compounding the problem.
It’s probably been here forever just like whirling disease. Would really like to see more research into the causes of these diseases and remedy vs further restrictions

These echo my thoughts on the subject as well.
The massive overreaction and jumping-the-gun before having long term data, reminds me of the other government blunders in the last few years.
