As most know, Nebraska was found to have CWD some years ago. While it had only been found in the western part of the state, I had concerns, and kept up with reports. My views about CWD have gone from a mass state of panic, to a feeling and belief that it's more than likely allways been here and we are now just becoming more aware of it.
Allthough there is no proof of CWD crossing the species barrier and infecting humans, I now feel compelled to get my recent deer tested.
CWD was found here outside my home town recently and the Game and Parks is asking hunters who have harvested deer within a 30 mile radious to take the heads in for testing. This is in Central Nebraska, so it's just no longer being found out in the western part of the state.
For my family's peace of mind I will have it tested. The buck that was found to have it came from where 75% of my shed finds come from. The G & P is shooting a bunch of deer out there now for further testing. Looks like shedding out there won't be good this year.
