Wyoming feed stations are a breeding ground for disease/CWD. Thoughts?

I was told recently that towards the end of the archery season this year in Wisconsin that they outlawed baiting for three years for deer. This was due to as CWD infection. I'm not sure if they're doing a study on it or what.

Four counties for a specific reason:

I am currently looking at the webcams for the Elk Refuge at Jackson WY. There is no snow at the moment down on the valley floor, and I don't believe that they have started to feed the elk yet as there is no reason to. Even still there are elk on the refuge and they are hanging out together like elk do in herds.
I don't see how not feeding would keep the elk from herding up? That is what elk do. At the family ranch in grant county the deer get together in groups during the winter even though they are not being fed by humans, more eyes are safer than one deer alone with all the predators around, probably why they hang out together.

Looks like the elk are starting to drop in feeding stations this winter in Wyoming due to CWD. Have any of you changed your opinions over the last year on this topic?
