[QUOTE="duckduck84, post: 4723025, member: 15791"] I understand that line of thinking, to a degree. However, you still put your child in plenty of dangerous situations where they have a much higher likelihood of being injured or killed. Every time they get in a car, go to a public place, go to school, etc. something could happen to them. I'm not really trying to change anyone's mind one way or another, but I think people should really take a breath and look at this for what it is and also what it isn't. I am 34 years old and have amazing land to hunt right in the middle of the CWD zone. So if I have eaten CWD infected meat, who knows what the future holds for me and my wife and my friends and my nieces and nephews and other family because we have all eaten deer from there. Now, every deer this year, as I've said previously, has tested negative and I have no issue eating it, no one else does either. Would I eat an untested deer in the future? Most likely not. Would I eat a positive deer? No. Am I going to quit hunting because CWD is out there? Absolutely not. Final point, I think we can be cautious and accept that things happen and we should exercise good judgement without pushing the narrative that CWD is most likely, probably, I heard a guy say that it could, jump to humans and turn us all into extras on The Walking Dead.
