I don't believe the issue is that it will wipe out a whole deer herd, and anyone that claims so has no real proof to stand on. But, once it is in a herd, there is little chance of eradicating it.
Maybe you don't lose a lot of deer to it, but with the deer herd we have, is that a chance we want to take? We already discuss the negative effects of flooding on a damn-near yearly basis. Do we want this disease here too?
I'm not saying the regulation is perfect. I'm saying we need some form of it to prolong the lack of CWD in the state. It is not knocking at our borders yet. Why let it in from thousands of miles away when its not even at our own door yet?

Last year when it flooded every redneck around was standing on the nearest levee pilin em up to the sky. Seems like thats more detrimental to a herd than a chance one might get sick.
