I take it the CWD deer is still running loose in Indiana as well? Following is a reply I received yesterday via email from Chad Stewart: "I believe you were inquiring about the tagged deer that was exposed to CWD from the positive deer in Pennsylvania. To my knowledge, no one has seen that deer since sometime last summer. We had an extensive camera surveillance project occurring down in Jackson County, and failed to get a picture of “Yellow 47”. We did manage to get several pictures of another male, “Yellow 2”, that did not share a pen with the positive deer in PA, but did occupy the same facility in Jackson County as “Yellow 47”. He has not been a consistent visitor to bait, appearing for one day, and then disappearing for several weeks before returning again. Therefore, we have not made any efforts to take him. We currently have pared down our surveillance efforts, but have kept the one camera active where he has been visiting infrequently in hopes that he will return more frequently." If anyone sees (in person or on trail cam) one of the Yellow tagged deer I am sure Chad would like to know the particulars as soon as possible.
