that was the reason the ban baiting in the centeral/southern part of the state figured it would be spread by deer pooping or urinating around bait piles spreading it more. From what I understand is Wisconsin had had the most radical reaction to it and like I said our deer population, people who farmed deer (elk, white tail and others in the deer family) took a huge hit from it. A friend of a friend had some trophy bucks he would sell semen to ranches to breed more throphy bucks, they literally became worthless over night with the restriction put on the transportation of animals or animal parts. Same with an elk farmer at the farmers market, he slaughtered all his elk because that was the only way to get anywhere near his investment back on them. DNR= do nothing right
