[QUOTE="Andy S., post: 5385447, member: 131"] This is the opinion of a lot of hunters I talk with in SW TN. Most hardcore "in the know" deer hunters in SW TN have this stance, or they "[I][U]may eat the positive[/U][/I]" deer, [B][U]but they will not ask, or expect, friends/family to eat the positive deer[/U][/B]. Due to not asking family/friends to eat it, it loses it's allure/appeal to be served at dinner and consumed by the masses. Some of the average deer hunters have all but quit hunting/eating deer [B][U]in Unit CWD[/U][/B] because them or [B][U]their spouse[/U][/B] mention "that CWD brain disease" that deer have, and instantly all whitetail deer are taboo. This is the second and third order effect of the news articles and media coverage of CWD combined with average hunters and spouses knowing next to nothing about CWD, the history of CWD on the landscape, other States history with CWD, etc. Believe what you want, but it is having [B][U]some[/U][/B] effect currently in SW TN with overall less desire to consume suspected positive deer, thus less overall desire to spend time and money to hunt, kill, dress, freeze and wait on a CWD test to come back.
