[QUOTE="Spurhunter, post: 5221698, member: 5695"] This is a complex issue. Like most of us, I was raised to eat what I kill. I don't want to eat a deer I know is positive, although I'm sure it wouldn't be the first. I have a problem with cutting out the backstraps then throwing the deer in a hole, but not many people have a walk in cooler to hang a deer for 2 and 1/2 weeks waiting for a test result. You can quarter them up and put them in a cooler, but for 2 or 3 weeks? The easy answer is we need faster test results, but that's out of our control. For the guys that don't mind eating CWD positive meat or prefer not to know, the answer is easy. For those of us that hunt near the hot zone and don't want to eat CWD positive, or unknown meat, not so much. Looking at another angle, I hunt in MS also. There have never been any CWD positives where I hunt. But I don't know if there's ever been a deer tested. There seems to be more questions than answers. [/QUOTE]
