[QUOTE="JJ3, post: 5852205, member: 7325"] I believe those percentages are of the positives of the number tested (that is how TWRA calculates prevalence rates). In past years a the Tennessee Wildlife Commission meetings sometime in the spring, TWRA has presented a report that shows how many deer tested and how many were positive in each of the CWD zone counties. If I remember right about 60% (+/- 10% — I’m going on memory) of deer harvested are tested. So I’m 2023/4 season, about 3000 deer were killed in Fayette County which means about 1800 were probably tested. [/QUOTE]
