[QUOTE="Mike Belt, post: 4723071, member: 69"] Just speaking personally... The biggest flaw I have to eating deer meat potentially contaminated with CWD is the length of time finding out testing has provided positive results. I hate that it's here. I hate that it will probably make a huge difference in the way I and others deer hunt in the future and what we may shoot. I hate that I have a lot of freezer space normally dedicated to deer taken over the course of a season. I don't look forward to skinning and cutting up deer I shoot but will gladly do it because we consume quite a bit of it. I certainly don't look forward to standing over my workbench for hours painstakingly manicuring the meat I keep before wrapping and freezing it but I do so because I'm very picky about having a clean product. Ultimately, what I don't want to look forward to is after spending all the time it takes to hunt, shoot, skin and quarter, and cut up and wrap meat, to have to throw it away... and I'm not alone. Now that we're facing this problem I think the saving grace as far as hunters killing deer to be consumed may be to speed up the detection process to no more than a day or two or better yet a couple of hours. Usually the weather will suffice letting a deer hang that long during season before processing. That would rule out wasting a lot of time and work for those doing it on their own or having it done by a processor. [/QUOTE]
