The above post is good advice. Myself, I don't worry abut it. I won't eat the meat any animla appears to be sick. But as i understandit, a cervid can have CWD for as long as five years before there are any symptoms. As I understand it, the same is true for Mad Cow.
So do we stop eating meat?

In my opininion deer are not for eating. But I do love some big ol racks. Do you not eat deer meat?
Very rarely. I only shoot mature bucks and kill 1-2 deer per year. i will make a little jerky. we raised both purebre and commercial cattle for many many years would often put a beef in the freezer and bought a hog or 2 to process so no need to eat deer. Neever really liked the taste of it. Besides I prefer that any meat I eat be finished on grain and receive several doses of ivomec and tramisol.

Dang Redblood your missing some fine eating from them ol Backstraps when their done right, but to each his own, I understand.
CWD is definitely no joke and I too dread its arrival here, but I think its inevitable and just a matter of 'when' not 'if' it gets here to TN.

If CWD gets here, I 1) won't eat any obviously sick deer; and 2) won't eat the brains or any other internal organs of deer. But the meat? As long as the deer shows no symptoms, sure I'll continue to eat deer. No known cases of human infection have occurred from eating infected deer.

I just had a brain fart!!! LOL If CWD is to our east in Virgina,I think it may have a hard time spreading west into TN.Because,of the mountains and the low population of deer in the MTNs...Which would make it harder for CWD to spread west..What you think?
