Should we even worry about CWD anymore?

[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5930012, member: 17"] I don't think that day will come. The White-tailed Deer is one of the most genetically diverse mammal species known. Massive genetic diversity leads to "Nature finding a way." Eventually (in fact, I think it's already true), some deer will be immune to CWD. These deer will continue to pass on their resistance to their offspring. Now because CWD doesn't kill quickly, the spread of genetic resistance will be slow. Probably 50-100 years before resistance is widespread. But it will happen. [/QUOTE]
