[QUOTE="Ahuntin1, post: 4711686, member: 8040"] The risk ratio mindset makes sense except for the fact that there’s a limited amount of information for me to eat an untested deer. I’m betting y’all don’t hunt in Fayette County. If it’s as prevalent as everybody says, I’ve already eaten some cwd positive deer. I’m sure one thousand other folks have too. That doesn’t mean that we should keep eating untested deer or deer that test positive. It might take 50 years and be a 1/10,000 chance after that, but I’m not eating any more untested deer and the two from this season in the freezer will hit the trash. I went over 10 years hunting without a harness from climbing stands and I still don’t wear my seatbelt as much as I should. The difference is that those risk end the moment it ended. There’s not enough information about cwd for me to eat some meat that has a 1 in 100 million chance in making me go out that way. I haven’t bought ground beef in at least 15 years and I’m patiently waiting for some test results results. [/QUOTE]
