We have been lucky to avoid it this long.

Wonder what the other responses would be? If we find CWD that’s adjacent to free-ranging deer populations that already have CWD, trying to reverse the situation or stop the spread has not been effective in a lot of other states,” Caudell says. “If we find it in other parts of the state [without additional presence in nearby free-ranging populations], like southern Indiana, that would trigger other responses. www.outdoorlife.com/hunting/chronic-wasting-disease-indiana/ |

Yep I read about it. It was from way up north in LaGrange Co.& I wonder how hard they check to see if it was really shot in Indiana? Could it have been shot out side out state & to avoid being hit with a citation they said it was shot in Indiana. Every state around us has CWD so it wouldn't be hard to imagine a deer crossing state line. How many years do you think it will take for it to spread all the way to the south west point of Indiana. They don't say how fast it spreads.

Check who posted 1st. You can check with Woody if you're so worried about who made a duplicate thread. |

Every state around us has CWD so it wouldn't be hard to imagine a deer crossing state line. How many years do you think it will take for it to spread all the way to the south west point of Indiana. They don't say how fast it spreads. That thought entered my mind too. And to someone living in Allen county LaGrange Co is not "way up north. Add in the number of hunters that live in Allen Co and hunt LaGrange and surrounding counties it may be as simple as someone dumping infected bones along roads and off bridges in Allen and it moves 45 miles south in 1 year. The same could happen Way down in the Southwest corner of the state. There is a high fence operation in Southwest Allen so maybe it is already here. Add the number of private deer breeders and it may be anywhere. The Emerald Ash borer was confirmed in Indiana in 2004. Has it reached the southwest corner yet? The wide open spaces of lower deer population between here and there will probably serve as somewhat of a barrier to deer from up here spreading CWD to the deer in the south. I would look to the river systems throughout the state to be corridors. Since I have my daughter and 1 year old granddaughter living with me and there is really no conclusive study on CWDs effects on humans I do have some concerns. A faster check and results would be great. |

A faster check and results would be great. Here's what I posted in the other thread. I am not worrying about it at all. Take a look at Colorado. It was first detected in captive deer approximately 55 years ago and first detected in wild deer 43 years ago. How many people in Colorado have tested positive for CWD? Does that mean that I have absolutely 0 disregard for it? NO. But will I spend more than a few minutes worrying about it? Again, NO. Not a damn thing I can do about it, and nothing I can do will change anything about it. Will I shoot a known sick deer? Yes. Will I try to consume any part of it? No I checked today and here is what the CDC of the USA says about CWD. To date, there have been no reported cases of CWD infection in people. SO, if none has been found in 43-55 years of exposure to humans in Colorado, I ain't gonna worry about it. |
