CWD is spread through direct contact with body fluids (saliva, urine, etc.). Concentrating deer at a feeder increases the frequency of direct nose-to-nose contact. Hence, if CWD is discovered in a particular herd, then feeders can accelerate its spread.
Then why isn't it illegal to feed deer period? Because there is nothing about sitting over a feeder with a gun that suddenly makes it spread disease. And there are so many people slinging corn now (and for the last 20 years as well) that any drastic increase in disease transmission would already have happened.
Because it isn't here yet.
But in the states that it is yes they do ban that kind of "feeding".
