[QUOTE="Creek, post: 5784790, member: 4036"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.bowhunting.com/blog/2018/10/26/are-cwd-deer-safe-to-eat/[/URL] After reading this article I found that CWD was first discovered in the early 80s, which I'm sure most of you already knew, and not one death or sickness in well over 40 years. I am in no way saying that it won't happen one day, but until it is undoubtedly confirmed that someone got sick or died, then I will likely not change my mind about eating deer. I understand there are other health concerns for the quality of the herds, but for those of us who primarily do it for consumption, should not be concerned imo But that's just me. From the article above; Like Richards stated, we cannot rule out that CWD can be transmitted to humans,[B] but no stories of human health issues tied to venison consumption have held up under scrutiny. [/B] I may have misread, but I was thinking Illinois made a difference using a combination of different methods. I'm not sure that a person can use the term "reduced" but I believe they did flatline according to this article that was posted earlier.
