Where did I say anything can happen? My point is, people want to brush off a disease because of the supposedly minor number of deaths caused without taking into account all of the other causes of mortality. We have somewhere between 750k and 1 million deer. Harvest estimates are typically somewhere between 100k and 150k. That is anywhere from 10-20% of the population. That does not take into account any other mortality.

So, again, what is an acceptable level of mortality from a disease? Maybe it's not all additive, but you have to make that decision as a manager. Is it an acceptable loss compared to what you may lose by managing to prevent it.
