As stated above by MSbowhunter48, I think EHD is much more of a problem than CWD so far. EHD seems to get less press and acknowledgment from the game department. I believe a bout of EHD came through on that lease I was in over near Carrolton and the deer numbers dropped dramatically in just a year or two. I found four deer skeletons in a dense thicket and another member found several also. However, about this same time we had a couple of new members who joined the club and brought their whole families to live at camp for 2 and 1/2 months and they had the "brown it's down criteria" to decide if a deer was a shooter so that could have been a contributing factor. I also think the state just doesn't have any good answers to stop the spread, so they just said, "hey let's ban supplemental feeding in CWD counties". I think that was just a PR band aide since I doubt the state biologists forgot that deer are social animals and groom one another regularly and they also feed in close proximity under red and white oak trees every fall and drink out of the same creeks and puddles. Banning corn feeding doesn't bother me a bit hunting wise, but I do have issues with the state telling people what they can do on their own land, and if they are going to ban feeding then that should mean all supplemental feeding, including food plots. In banning corn, they are stopping the guy who can afford a few hundred dollars in corn a year but not stopping the guy who can plant $30,000 in food plots every fall.
I also got the feeling they were playing it up to get funding.
