The thing that kills me is......the deer are still going to eat in their family groups.  Whitetail especially all eat the same feed, regardless of bait or natural forage.  We have 5-6 groups of does / fawns that all eat live in the same area.  The eat off the same bushes, grasses, ect.  You can watch one group eat and walk off....just to see another group in that same area eating and drinking out of the same exact spot.  This isn't going to stop the spread of anything in my humble opinion, but is otherwise one more controlling factor WDFW and the Commission have on hunters. 

If anything.....it is going to harm these deer during the winter when they benefit from supplemental feed.   :dunno: :dunno:
Exactly!! Explained perfectly.
Yup, I agree, explained perfectly.

Had about 20 mule deer laying in my pasture next to my driveway this morning. They were all within a couple feet of each other. I guess they didn't get the memo and adhere to the 6' social distancing rule to stay safe from CWD.
Also agree
I can look anywhere in my county.
Same elk,same deer ......
Will eat in the same pasture,same spot every day and nite.
Usually where the grass is the greener.
