(What follows is just my opinion...)
If you seem some deer that are obviously suffering from CWD, you should definitely do your part and harvest them. Get them out of the herd. Same with spikes and other genetic undesirables. No, it won't help you to harvest the buck of a lifetime right *now*, but in the future, it very well could.
Living next to a no hunt zone is pretty good, I guess. At least gives them a place to hole up for a bit and take some of the hunting pressure off. My friends up north leave a patch of corn/winter wheat/soybeans standing each year between two hunting zones to allow the deer to relax. Also, it helps to funnel them up on to the other parts of his property that he actually hunts.
I didn't get anything this year (again), yet, but I'm hoping to later in the season, when I'm out of school for the month.
