    If you had a CWD positive deer on your property would be ok woth TPWD coming in and kill almost/all of your deer?
    Of course not. Who would? That's one of the reasons EVERYONE should be hyper concerned about the deer that move around in trailers. Live animal movement down the highway is the largest vector of the disease. I'm much more likely to end up with a positive because of the actions of a neighbor moving deer than I am from the disease walking to me or self generating on the landscape.

      Did you miss the post about the Iowa deer farm with most of it infected?

        So how’s the deer out west get it? Not a high fence for a long long way.

            ROFL... I think you probably need to do a self eval after you read the exchange again.

                It walked in from New Mexico after infected Elk were transported onto a Military base. Remember... Mule deer and Elk move quite a bit more than whitetails do... over 100 miles sometimes.

                  Is that official? Haven’t seen that. Bad deal if so.

                    It's highly suspected.

                      How old are you? To say I wouldn't eat a known positive CWD animal is not saying I wouldn't eat an elk from an area known to have CWD. I just wouldn't willingly eat a CWD. I guess that sounds dumb.

                        So what’s the limit? You won’t eat it if it’s 100% chance. What about 10? 30? 50? You can see why it’s bad news if it spreads then right?

                          I think the only real question, that has nothing to do with hype and selling fear is, how many people have had a cross species issue from eating a CWD infected cervid.
                          The only thing that matter is the answer to that question.

                          And the answer is there are no known cases and no evidence to show there ever will be.

                            For some reason you think I'm against testing? I'm not. I just think its useless to test breeders and not some sort of testing across the state and at processing facilities. If I take a positive CWD deer to a processor doesn't his or her equipment now have CWD? I'd rather not waster time and money only half axxing it. Jump in or don't.

                              Millions of deer killed every year. Millions. But CWD is a huge issue right? So odds are that many people have eaten one with CWD.
                              You still didn’t answer the question

                                Where are you getting this idea that only breeders are testing?
