I can assure you that 25% of the herd in those northern counties did not die off from CWD in the last 12 months. If that was the case, there would have had thousands of positives in the three county area where they were actively checking and there would have been additional cases showing up in all the testing being done in surrounding counties if it was that prevalent. People would've been reporting seeing sick deer left and right. So explain to me where all these positive tests are? .
What if the initial die off occurred during the spring and summer months?? There's a blatant pattern in the data.
