Nevada's chief game warden, Tyler Turnipseed knows they will loose the battle against 'zombie deer.' Deer infected with chronic wasting disease are infecting the Western United States.

NY Post:

Tyler Turnipseed, chief Nevada game warden, suggested in testimony about the proposed law that local populations could be infected if a hunter passing through the state from elsewhere dumps butchered waste.

Kansas, Colorado and Wyoming have all reported cases of animals with the disease - heightening concerns that the disease could spread into Nebraska, Utah, Idaho and ultimately Nevada, J.J. Goicoechea, a state Department of Agriculture veterinarian, told lawmakers.

"It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when," Wolff said. "We know that we can't wrap Nevada in a bubble."

Maybe we can just extend the southern border wall to surround the entire state?
