[QUOTE="AT Hiker, post: 4711399, member: 10019"] Levee Jumper pretty much mirrors my thoughts. I look at it this way, I eat Sheep/Lamb/Mutton that are not tested. Granted Scrapie has yet to prove it can jump to humans. Would I eat one that tested positive or came from a flock that did? No, I’d pass. Beef; I eat untested beef as do most people. For the most part we are good to go here in the US, we have a process in place that will hopefully keep us safe. Would I eat beef in a country that has a history of Mad Cow? Probably not. Venison; I’m not going to knowingly eat CWD infected meat. I will continue to eat untested meat unless I hunt in a area with a high prevalence rate. I’ve hunted in CWD states (technically we all have now) but let’s say I ever draw a tag in a “hot zone”. I will have it tested and go off the assumption the test is accurate and not eat infected meat. I probably would not eat a very young deer in a hot zone either. I think if you research the topic and evaluate the risk you can make a decision that best suits your situation. It’s like going to visit Yellowstone. Scientists says the super volcano is over due for a massive eruption, what’s the odds it’s going to blow while your there? Better odds of being mauled by a grizzly while visiting and exponentially greater odds dying while traveling to the Park. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
