Its about time I start getting my deer tested. I’ll probably continue to eat it no matter what, but I couldn’t feed my kids a deer I knew was positive.

Don’t eat the brain or spinal cord and I don’t know who would. You’ll be just fine. Been in other states for years.

I got that email just a while ago. So now EHD and CWD in the herd. The herd could take a lot of hits between the two and impact herd numbers significantly. I would remind everyone of something that one of the wildlife biologists said not too long ago. IF you actually SEE dead deer that appear to have been impacted by EHD, (and now presumably CWD), call them out immediately. Rather than simply spread rumors about scores of dead deer that your brother-in-law`s second cousin`s neighbor found...get the professionals out so that they can catalogue and record factual data.

One positive Deer with CWD isnt a outbreak in the Herd….

In this state you have to drop off the head at a random freezer for testing. I euro mount my skulls so that is a no go. Anyone know if Indiana can test just a sample and how I collect that sample? I have never seen anything about that.

Got the email today too- it was just a matter of time before we caught a CONFIRMED case as it is already in surrounding states.

What They're Not Telling You About CWD

Scientists found through their research that CWD is no different than a well-known disease that affects sheep that was passed to cervids.

Brief article on how CWD is nothing but scrapie in cervids. Scrapie has been around since sheep were brought to the West Indies and the first Colonies in America.

Most important to the control of a virus or disease is deer herd “turnover”, where deer are replaced every 3-5 years through mortality and recruitment, preventing viruses and diseases from lingering in the herd.
