[QUOTE="fairchaser, post: 5889928, member: 10373"] The odds of contracting CJD from an infected deer are incredibly low. There are so many other ways to die. More hunters have died from falling out of a tree or from dragging a deer out of the woods. Not to mention hitting a deer on the road. Yet we continue to hunt, climb trees and drive to the woods. Because I hunt in a highly infectious area where more than half the deer have CWD, I haven't even killed a negative deer in several seasons, I've eliminated venison from my diet altogether. Many of the hunters I hunt with have done the same. It's just easier to donate the deer to HFTH and move on. Fortunately I've reached the age and place in my deer hunting career where it's not that big a deal. But, I hate we have lost this tradition for my grandsons. My sons don't hunt deer anymore somewhat because of CWD. I really hope something can be found to combat this disease. [/QUOTE]
