[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5930155, member: 20583"] I don't hear this mentioned often enough. That's about the lifespan of a typical buck to begin with, and a doe living that long can produce several fawns before ever exhibiting symptoms. Essentially many deer would outlive the disease even if they were born with it. I think that's why we don't see big a die off and why in most places we don't see an affect on age structure. This is a big silver lining that would calm the hyperbole doom & gloom but for whatever reason we don't get to hear it near as often or as loud as the scary stuff. But it explains why we've been hearing for decades about how our deer will disappear, but they don't. [/QUOTE]
