The problem with the CWD and "Hand Feeding" is that they congregate in a very small area with the hand feeder, i.e. bait piles. The bait piles of corn, salt licks, and anything else that is in such a small area with deer eating at it together is how CWD can spread faster. It is transferred to other deer via saliva. So if multiple deer are eating a bait pile at the same time and one infested with CWD slobers on some corn and another deer ingests it, it can cause CWD in that deer. Now when naturally grazing over a large area such as a corn field there is less of a chance of the deer eating the exact area as one before it. And if the saliva has dried or been exposed to the sun the virus can die before it is spread. Thats why they want to eliminate bait piles, salt licks and the like. They are basically cesspool of CWD for deer in hard hit areas.
Had to do a large research project on CWD a few years ago for my deer management class in college and this was one of the largest contributing factors, along with a poor or non flowing water supply
