TWRA Letter to Land Owners

What do they mean with the words "targeted removal program". Does targeted mean deer that are of certain age? sex? look/act a certain way? or any deer that is alive? or all deer in the area? I'm curious as to which deer are targeted which ones are not.

I can't help but think that some deer are going to be naturally immune to CWD, I may wrong. But indiscriminately wiping them out how would we ever know?

But on the other side of the argument, if it is evidently going to spread are we not just delaying what is going to happen anyway. I'm not saying not to try, but what other methods are being tried?
 
Targeted as I interpret is geographically…the very next sentence states "periphery of the disease range." That combined with the fact one cannot discern an infected deer by simply looking at it + the last sentence in the 3rd paragraph.

They know full-well there will be deer killed that test negative.
