Maybe or maybe lack of hunting too many deer. I would not eat them could be transmissible in some way like mad cow disease brains.
And meaning that is why some areas have more on the map, NCWRC in this state is on it and has a lot of info on their site about it.
Know CWD

Should I eat the meat of a CWD-positive deer?
The Centers for Disease Control states that to date, there have been no reported cases of CWD infection in people. However, some animal studies suggest CWD poses a risk to certain types of non-human primates. The CDC states it is important to keep the agents of all known prion diseases (also including mad cow disease and scrapie in sheep) from entering the human food chain. For optimal safety, the NCWRC recommends people do NOT eat:
Meat from a deer that looks sick.
Any of the following organs: brain, eyes, spinal cord, spleen, tonsils and lymph nodes*.
Any meat from an animal that tests positive for CWD.
*Normal field dressing and boning out a carcass will remove most (if not all) of these body parts. Cutting away all fatty tissue will remove remaining lymph nodes.
