This is OLD news

CWD has been around since at least the 60's when it was first reported and state DNR agencies have been educating hunters for years. I first heard about it almost 20 years ago

These are clickbait articles written by non-journalists or compromised journalists that need a paycheck. For the most part, real journalism is gone in the main stream media. Why would anyone read this garbage and actually think the motivations are to provide accurate information to the public is beyond me.

When I find some, I give it to my Democratic acquaintances. It has no detrimental affect on their brains. At least none that I can discern.

It's been slowly creeping throughout Wisconsin since the 90's. The DNR now offers free testing. You can process the deer and wait for the results before consuming any of it. I guess it is somewhat similar to "mad cow" and as such might take years for any ill effects to appear.

Mad cow is generally transferred to humans through meat that has been tainted with brain matter or the spinal cord. This is also how CWD could potentially be transferred although it has never happened (as far as we know)

Time will tell if consuming meat that has zero central nervous system tissue contamination is safe. Since Great Britain changed their meat handling practices the disease is almost non-existent

Good article on it here

Our state wildlife departments really screwed up by allowing baiting of deer, in my opinion. Deer are wild animals, not our pets to feed. Allowing hunters to bait deer, with commercially produced products that may contain infected animal protein, is just stupid, not to mention unsportsmanlike. Having wild deer congregate at a feeding site is un-natural, and greatly increases the odds of deer passing disease to each other, or to be infected by contaminated feed. We should demand that all baiting of wild deer be banned. It’s unhealthy for the herd.

We are currently participating in a CWD white tail deer study in cooperation with the Michigan DNR and Michigan State University. As a cooperative land owner we are allowing deer to be trapped, blood samples drawn and tagged with tracking collars allowing the resurchers to monitor the herd movement. The study is just getting underway and the goal is to monitor the spread of the disease and potentially figure out how to curb it’s continual growth.
Every morning we have a cadry of students show up checking traps and putting out corn and on two occasions thus far have hit pay dirt and tagged two animals one of which showed up about a mile away on a neighbor’s game camera.
Very interesting to rub shoulders with young people interested in game management.

Sounds like a great project - I would love to participate in something like this.
