Jameson take a read through that. Could be a bit of a refreshment from the MN DNR website.Mortenson post #132.
Is a good article. 20% immune rate.

At some point, Cornicelli will have to admit that we need to deal with the disease instead of eradicate it.If the percentage of CWD positive stays at 1%, with 11,000 deer in the area, after harvesting approx 1000 animals, 10,000 remaining could have 100 positive infection numbers.
Mentioned by others, but another article stating the genetic resistance of some individual animals:

What will you do if they find some +s in your hunting area?
You guys are talking like there CWD is an area is the end of hunting. Plenty of people in the Wisconsin hot zone shooting deer and eating them. Sure you may have to take a few more precautions but it is not the end of the world.

I'll be honest. I don't want to know there's CWD in my area. If there is, it makes my property worth less and likely leads me to stop hunting. If the MN DNR makes testing available for everyone who wants a deer tested, it's going to get reallllllll expensive.

When the sharpshooters in my county pile em up from mid Jan thru March, they don't even test them (I'll admit, that's hearsay from many sources). My section had it's 1st cwd deer harvested in season 3 years ago, couple hundred yards across the fence from me. Since then the map has a couple more dots on it in the section. Right or wrong, my family is eating the buck I shot this past Nov. It was untested due to being shoulder mounted. A few miles over, there's a meat locker in a strong hunting area of that non-cwd county who reported in the paper, partway thru the season that zero customers had agreed to the free testing of their deer.
With an opinion like that why on earth would you be against efforts to control it. This isn't the first time it has popped up in MN, Pine Island I believe. They seem to have controlled it there and I have stated it before but we had the TB infection in NW MN. Same type of response and it controlled the spread of that through the herd. I do realize that it stinks in the short term but ultimaltely I feel it is by far the best option. The deer will come back in those areas.
Something should have been done long ago with game farms, I feel.
Yup, TB doesn't live in the soil (as far as I know) once an area has CWD it is in the soil. You can kill off all the deer, but then when new CWD free deer come in they can get affected by the soil.You can't compare CWD to TB. Two very different diseases. CWD is nearly impossible to eradicate. Read up
