[QUOTE="backyardtndeer, post: 5795158, member: 16465"] The [I][B]experts[/B][/I] say there are higher incidence rates in older age class bucks. It kind of makes sense since those deer over their lifetimes have probably covered more ground and given themselves more potential for exposure to the prions. The thing that is interesting to me is that some right here in this forum have said that they have killed deer that appeared to be perfectly healthy to come back positive. With that in mind I have to admit that I was sweating it just a little waiting on the test results on the 5.5 year old buck I killed this year as it took longer than I expected. There hadn't been any positives anywhere near us on the map, but I question the percentages of how many who are even having their deer tested. I know of several who are not. Although I fully intended on having them tested, the two I killed last year did not get tested. [/QUOTE]
