[QUOTE="Ckleeves, post: 3094706, member: 83259"] There is no right answer on eliminating it. If they were ultra aggressive and 100% killed every deer in an affected area the outcry would be beyond loud. I don’t think it’s an effective strategy anyway with how long prions stay in the ground and new deer are going to move back into an area and possible become infected and the cycle continues. I don’t believe there is a right answer. Trying to keep a young age class with low positive rates seems to be the best answer right now. There is some evidence of CWD resistant genes so hopefully that could provide an answer. There isn’t a cure for CJD (a good buddies aunt died from it) so from what I know an actual “cure” for cwd sounds pretty unlikely. [/QUOTE]
