If so then the natural licks can cause this disease ??? not baiting with salt ..

Prions cause the disease. Prions are misfolded proteins which effect normal proteins to misfold and so the chain begins. So the salt lick, natural or otherwise, dust, vegetation can harbor the prion if it was deposited there. Along comes Jennie and she licks the lick, the prion attaches and start attacking her proteins and the prions start in her system. There is no cure and death is imminent. CWD is quite similar to Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease CJD (mad cow disease).
It appears that the governments are quite lackadaisical about this disease.

Using a crossbow or a compound bow was never around when I started hunting 50 + years ago . It was a good ole fiberglass , or a wooden longbow and wooden shafted arrows !!! There was not very many scopes around, mostly the good ole iron sights. I guess you must fit right in with the crowd that thinks you are a better hunter because you wear camo , and that not traditional!

I think the big issue is there is "no cure" so it makes it hard for them to "act on it" to be honest.
And then this whole banning baiting is the only way they can appear to be acting like they are "pro-active".
Problem is, they are to chicken shit to then tell the cattle ranchers/association that they have to stop as well.
Private residents who don't hunt also feed deer/elk thru the winter in their back yards.
Doubt they will stop either!!.
(they like having their pets to watch all winter long)

But hey, lets go after the hunter!.
Easy to prosecute, easy to tell them to "stop" thru "further regulation restrictions".

Tell me again..."how is this going to really help"?????
Again, hunters will be reporting hunters to CO's.
And non hunters will continue to throw feed out where ever they want..
