kill all of your deer and make you wish you didnt say anything- with a farm in Allamakee that we barely get 3 pictures a day of deer anymore, id never tell anyone if we shot a sick looking deer again. One of the "positives" was a neighbor that has told me everytime, he never would have wanted a replacement tag (why he turned in the deer was it was very sick when he shot it) and he wanted to keep hunting....
if you send it in you know it's safe to eat or not !!! they say it doesn't transfer over to humans but do you want to take that chance not me .
CWD the deer can have it and show no symptoms of being sick for a long time so just looking at the deer can be inaccurate
I've likely eaten it already. Life isn't a zero risk endeavor but I think eating cwd deer is pretty close to zero risk.
ehd & CWD is totally different CWD is much more contagious & deadly not even close you can cook a deer with ehd and be good CWD not so much i don't care what you guys do i'm just saying i'm getting my deer tested.
Ya I'm way more worried about ehd. CWD has been around for a long time and nothing has been connected. Plus all the DNR wants to do is bait " which if one infected deer eats from it then infects all the rest that eat from the pile n transfer the disease faster" then kill off as many as possible in that area. Only bad things come from ttesting. Listen to the video that northcedar.
ehd is not spread by another deer ehd is a nat bites the deer and that's it it not contagious like cwd which is very contagious people need to read more .
Cwd was first found in the 60s- it’s been here a very long time and hasn’t done near the damage of EHD
now that its here we don't know the damage it will do to early to tell . it wasn't every where in iowa and still isn't in the 60s it was only out west .
