Solution for more bucks

[huskminn]

The deer in my freezer is from an area of South Dakota that has had a higher incidence of CWD than anywhere in Wisconsin. I am leaving on Saturday to go back there for another hunt.

I do think about CWD and I have made an effort to learn about it and similar diseases so I can make an educated decision about deer hunting. I think many DNR and Game & Fish departments have done a tremendous diservice to the general public by telling people to clean their knives, etc. in bleach and wear long gloves while field dressing deer. If there is a danger of CWD, none of that matters. You can't kill it! It's not a bacteria or a virus--not even radiation can kill it.

This year, the deer I kill in SD will be tested by the state for CWD, so I will know for certain that whether or not it is a "clean" deer.

MuskyBuck....no buddy, like I said it has not....I would, I don't like brain or spinal chord....CWD is not a virus or anything it is a PROTIEN (less than a virus) that inhibits the brain and causes damage....

What you are making is an "educated guess". Did you say anywhere in WI???? Better read up some more.

No, what I am making is a factual statement based on READING and RESEARCH and a lot of Outdoor life/field and stream. The point you are making is based purely on overhyped information....maybe YOU should do some reading....

Muskybuck,

You're right. I did check and found that in WI's most heavily tested area, 107 cases of CWD were found. That is more than have been found in South Dakota. South Dakota has not tested nearly as many animals, however.

Good catch.
