Wisconsin launched a massive effort last year to combat CWD in the wild. The state aims to eliminate the wild deer population in a roughly 400-square-mile zone west of the capital city of Madison, in which all of the state's cases have been found.

Other newspaper accounts of this story have said that this "elimination" would continue for 5 consecutive years. How do you eliminate the entire deer populaion over a 20 x 20 mile area — and make sure it stays that way for 5 years?

Yep I here ya sounds prety tuff to do but doable nonetheless.

Hunting seasons and limits have traditionally been the management tool of choice when it comes to Deer herds.

If they open a season and leave it open the hunters will do the rest, though I am not sure how many would participate being that the venison would be wasted.

I know that here in Missouri the MDC has stepped up its CWD testing program for fear of it spreading here.
