Oh, imagine that ^^^ just one more of a list of many diseases that can attribute it's spread to the use of bait piles and feeders. Sorry guys, like it or not(and I don't really give 2 $h!t$ if you agree with me or not, the science is out there), but it is becoming increasingly obvious to see the risk of running concentrated bait piles, mineral sites, and feeders is becoming too high. This practice should be banned everywhere and enforced with an iron fist due to the scientifically proven ability for it to spread many highly contagious communicable diseases. Ask yourself today if concentrated baiting and feeding stations are worth the risk, then ask yourself the same question after you get hit with a disease that kills off part of your deer herd. We quit baiting the year after CWD was found in south central WI, even though we were 70+ miles from the first positive deer. It sure wasn't worth the risk for us to "encourage" it's spread to the local herd because we wanted to see a few more deer. Domestic animals in a fence are one thing, we have guys like sandbur who can take care of those animals in the semi-controlled environment of a farm/ranch, wild herds are on there own and are impossible to provide care for to prevent the myriad of issues that could be spread by this practice. Sorry, rant over.
