Here's the rub. You can ignore CWD, hope it will go away on its own, discount what the biologists say, but when a CWD deer shows up 20 miles from where you're hunting, and it's an 18-month-old buck, and all the scientific research tells you that it takes at least 18 months for the symptoms to show up in a deer, then you know, wow, the little buck had the disease passed down from its mother, so there is another infected deer somewhere close by, plus all the other little ones she had and may have passed it onto. Then, how fast are you going to cut up those loin chops and slap them on the grill? Face it, CWD is the deer/elk version of Mad Cow Disease. You want to chew on a nice piece of steak not knowing? I've got buddies in Mississippi, where the fourth CWD deer was just discovered, and one lives in one of the "containment zones" where two of the four CWD deer have been found. He just limbered up his front end loader, dug a hole and dumped in every piece of venison killed on his 800 acres. He said it's just not worth the risk. That's the rub with CWD.
Dumb. I have knowingly eaten elk and deer from CWD areas. It has never been shown to be transmitted to humans. The one study where it was given to monkeys was HEAVILY influenced by circumstances that were way beyond natural.Here's the rub.

Odds are 50% or more of this forum has probably already eaten an ungulate of the deer family that had CWD.

Used to write for Carolina Outdoors also. He tagged along on a squirrel hunt after pestering the hell out of us for years. When published it was grossly embellished.On a side note,,

Actually that was who he was doing the article for I was complaining about.... and for NC Game and Fish.

That's a shame right there. Heat denatures proteins. All proteins. The CWD prion is a protein. I'll just cook my meat and not worry about a protein that hasn't ever been shown to be transmissible to humans even before it was cooked.
Im more worried about being bitten by a damn tick and developing alpha gal allergy.
