[QUOTE="Buckskinner, post: 3088112, member: 99929"] I'm not saying there is no risk but there are + 6 million deer/elk shot every year in the US within a certain percentage have CWD. What percentage is debatable and variable depending on location. But there is a significant number of animals with CWD eaten by people every year, if transmissible there would likely be identifiable hotspots of CJD in areas with hotspots of CWD and a substantial increase in CJD since CWD appeared. To my knowledge there isn't. Yeah, it's been around far longer than when testing started but it's certainly spread. [URL unfurl="true"]https://p.widencdn.net/mqoh7m/southerncwd[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://p.widencdn.net/6ixtwa/cwdAffectedCountiesMap[/URL] For instance, where it was first discovered in Wisconsin, west of Madison in 2002. If you look at the above maps you can see where the positives are since then. This is primarily private land with lots of ag with a fair amount of public as well. Now Madison has more than its share of brain disfunction, but not because of CJD... Saying this, it's starting to creep east towards where I hunt and there have been a couple positives within a few miles of me. I am going to start getting our deer tested, transmissible or not, I'm not interested in eating sick animals. [/QUOTE]
