We had an outbreak of blue tongue around here a few years ago that took out a lot of deer, but it is nowhere near as severe or long term as chronic wasting disease. I hope that situation clears up with minimal loss for you. Too bad no one has figured out a way that disease can be eradicated. I'm not aware of CWD being present around these parts. If the state of North Carolina outlawed hunting over bait, the deer population would explode and some guys might not know how to hunt a deer.
