And what exactly do they plan to do about it once I send in a positive sample?

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
 
In a former "Hot Zone" on the MO side in Mercer County. The buck that tested positive (and still only positive found in that area) looked healthy as can be and was mature. Before knowing about CWD, no one would have bat an eye to not eat that deer or suspect something was wrong with it.

It's still the only positive to have been found, but that one buck did get us a bounty of tags to use to make sure to keep deer #'s low. Is that going to fix or solve the problem? Depends on who you ask. I've never tested a deer from my farm and continue to shoot/eat those deer without concern after the positive found 1/2 mile from me. Some day they may find a direct correlation to cwd postive deer consumed and CJD in humans. I doubt I'm here long enough to see a discernable difference either way....

The 10 extra tags provided to landowners after that positive case was found are still given out yearly to be used during a season with legal weapon for that season.
 
Worse thing we can do for the deer herd is test for cwd, they hardly do anything to help with ehd that we know kills thousands of deer all while pushing this cwd bullshit that they get federal funds for. Never been a case of it transferring to humans, scare tactic just like previously stated. We should also demand a stop to landowners getting an extra buck tag if they meet the requirements in cwd opportunity zones, or whatever they call it. No reason anyone needs 4 buck tags

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.
 
They said they’d stop at 120.. cmon guys, you can trust the government.

(Not my county but my neighbor was accidentally sent this from another area in MO).

Garbage.

Silly.....same old same old.....WI tried to kill every deer in areas and then as time passed CWD was found everywhere and they just quit doing anything because it was not hurting anything. Ignore it unless something changes.
