I think your afraid of finding cwd further west then you have been led to believe.....You continue to dodge my questions , just like another poster
they did do survailance in those areas and have got no postive deer and if they were dieing of it we hunters would find the bodys and turn them inI'm gonna be nice and call this statement skewed...

I"m basing some assumptions on data like this , based on this would you feel a few hundred sample collected along with random road kills submitted province wide or around a
Known infected deer or elk farm ( west of the border around Edmonton)accurate enough to declare the western side of the province cwd free?....Yes or NO? Easy to answer it's one or the other with out throwing another link up
Testing of the fall hunter samples for CWD has now been completed. Out of more than 2,900 deer heads submitted, four diseased deer were found. This brings the total to 17 cases confirmed in wild deer in Alberta, which was first detected in 2005.
