[QUOTE="gatodoc, post: 5487284, member: 11563"] These prions came from sheep. Scrapie is a prion disease in sheep that’s been around for many years. There was some studies of sheep scrapie out west years ago. After the testing was over some dumbass put elk in the same pens the sheep had been in. Guess what happened? It jumped species and started affecting elk and deer. itll jump to humans eventuall. That’s the nature of nature. I’m not too worried about it myself. While I’m sure it’ll happen the odds on being the first human infected are infinitely small. Much more chance being struck by lightening while hunting. CWD will be all over TN shortly. TWRA may slow it but won’t stop it. It’ll not mean the end of deer hunting but it might mean the end of some deer hunters. CWD kills deer but not wholesale like EHD. It’ll thin the herd but eventually some deer will develop resistance. the fear factor will stop some from hunting and eating deer. SAD....I’m gonna kill deer, test deer, and not knowingly eat know positives but it’s not going to stop my hunting. Got more things to worry about than CWD.... [/QUOTE]
