Response The “as a” seems interesting! This is the rest of the response. There is no way of knowing 100% , someone could remove tag and let a captive deer into wild hypothetically.

As with most posts on CWD, some will believe it, others won't.

So, the way I see it is I have 3 choices. 1) Stop deer hunting and consuming deer meat. 2) Don't shoot and consume a sick deer. 3) Keep on what I am doing now.
If the studies that I have read say that it was first discovered in Wyoming in 1967 in a captive deer herd, and in wild deer in 1981. How many hunters have died from it in those intervening 43 years? If you look at it statistically, how many deer and elk have been shot and consumed in those 43 years and how many cases are there in humans? You probably have better odds of winning the Powerball than contracting it.

It is obviously a concern to DNR's, and hunter's should stay informed and be concerned , but it is not the end of deer hunting, and it is not an excuse for DNR's to wipe out our deer herds.

As with most posts on CWD, some will believe it, others won't. Won’t believe what? “Conclusions: Clusters of sporadic CJD cases may occur in regions with CWD-confirmed deer populations, hinting at potential cross-species prion transmission. Surveillance and further research are essential to better understand this possible association.” Causation hasn’t asserted, only a few limited instances of correlation. A quick google search shows that roughly 500 people are known to die of CJD in the U.S. every year, and have for a very long time. Two of them happen to be deer hunters from a CWD area? At this point it can’t be ruled out, but we’re far from being at the point where people should start “believing” they are going to contract CWD from eating deer meat.

My thoughts…
There has to have been numerous hundreds of thousands of CWD deer killed and eaten. If it was truly transferable we would have had new “pandemic” on our hands by now.
Hunt on folks…

Exactly! No scientific evidence as of yet so I ain’t scared. All the media needed was one little fleck of hope to pump their agenda out there.

With all that's going in the world and my life , CWD would rank near the bottom of my concerns of things to worry about. Not that I don't care. Reality is that there is nothing I can do about it.

They don't NEED an excuse. Hunters will gladly do it for them and all DNR has to do is sit back and rake in the fees and the fines.

Been hunting since 1978 and my deer hunting is better than ever currently. ( More deer does not = better deer hunting.)
