Unless someone is eating brain tissue or the spinal cord, they cannot get CWD from an infected deer. Given how long CWD has been around, and how many states it exists in, if humans were getting sick from eating deer or elk, we'd know about it by now. If I were a betting man, I'd bet that thousands of CWD deer and elk have unknowingly been consumed by humans and everything was fine.
I'd lay waste to some West TN does and eat every single scrap of the meat without hesitation.
Pretty easy to avoid brain, not so much cerebrospinal fluid (loaded with prions), esp with high shoulder shots which often disrupt the cord/ spinal canal.
Also remember the prion is in very high concentrations in lymph nodes.... be sure your butcher is getting those out from your deer completely intact with as well as the deer he processed prior to you. Pretty easy to grind up a lymph node into your burger. Unfortunately, the prion is still in the lymph channels in the meat itself (but a lower concentration than the actual lymph nodes). Plus higher concentration in gut and bone... sometimes bullet fragments get those into meat.
While spongiform encephalopathies manifest symptoms usually in 2-4 years in cervids (CWD) and cattle (BSE), it's only a 6 months in minks. But the problem is... the human variant can take 10-30 years to manifest symptoms from time of infection.
So, while there are no PROVEN zoonotic cases of transmission from deer to humans, it is near impossible to determine causation of human JCD in most cases.
I'm still going to eat the heck out of cervids, but depending on whether they came from a CWD endemic area or not, I will wait for a negative test result first, and I'm still careful to ensure there is minimal contamination of CNS, lymph, GI, and bone in my meat.
