Am I alone in thinking that the first thing the State should do in order to combat CWD in AL is to make baiting illegal again?
No
I'm no expert in CWD
Good point
Outlawing the baiting rule would be dumb, but look for it and other stupidity coming from this.
83% of all statistics are made up.

No doubt deer will congregate around food sources other that corn feeders, however it seems to me that a group of oak trees or a food plot would be a more spread out area than a corn feeder. CWD is spread from the bodily fluids of infected deer (blood, saliva, feces, urine). I would think a deer would be more likely to come in contact with those bodily fluids in the small area around a feeder than they would in a more spread out area. Especially if you have a trough-style feeder. One infected deer slobbers on the trough while eating corn, then infects a bunch of others that feed there shortly afterward. Again, don't get me wrong, I am not under any illusion that it would prevent CWD from spreading, but I can't think of a logical reason that it wouldn't help slow the progression, and it would be something that would be fairly easy to do. It stays on the soil for a long time. I don’t think it’s like a respiratory disease/cough where the disease dies shortly after leaving the body. “ Scientists believe CWD proteins (prions) likely spread between animals through body fluids like feces, saliva, blood, or urine, either through direct contact or indirectly through environmental contamination of soil, food or water. Once introduced into an area or farm, the CWD protein is contagious within deer and elk populations and can spread quickly. Experts believe CWD prions can remain in the environment for a long time, so other animals can contract CWD from the environment even after an infected deer or elk has died.”
