[QUOTE="Andy S., post: 5706001, member: 131"] ^^^ It was first detected in 2018, and the rate was so high at that point that many considered CWD to be "[I]environmental[/I]", as in CWD is rampant in the deer herd with years of prion shedding into the earth/soil/water/plants. I have heard it be said that they suspect CWD had been in the area 5+ years, and very possibly 8-10. I fully believe 5+, and I can tell you MANY of us Ames members, our friends and family consumed A LOT of infected venison over those 5+ years. We killed 180-200 deer those years and ate a lot of them. Of course, some were donated, etc, but a lot of infected venison was likely consumed among the 60-100 members ([I]membership fluctuated annually[/I]). Link below from MN talks about CWD becoming "[I]environmental[/I]" on the landscape.
