Colorado Parks and Wildlife sent out a couple videos of what they are doing in regards to CWD. Not a whole lot of new info, but I learned a few things from it such as: abnormal coat, drooping ears, and squinting eyes can be signs of a CWD infected deer.
I've shot 3 bucks in west Tn that have tested positive and all 3 had 1 or more of these.
I thought it was interesting and figured I'd post for Tndeer.

The first one I shot had a drooping ear. The second looked completely healthy other than his eyes were sunk in his head. He's my largest buck to date.
The third one had a gray colored coat, patches of hair missing, eyes sunk in, extremely emaciated, and was eating like he was in a competition. The third one is the only one I shot because I could tell he was in bad shape.
