What do American deer hunters need to know about chronic wasting disease?

Postby Barrow Boy » Wed Apr 12, 2023 4:10 am

1. Where can a hunter have his quarry tested?
2. What is done to safeguard the meat until the test results are gotten?

I would hate to spend money on deer processing only to find out the animal tests positive later on.
Can the meat be preserved before butchering while the CWD testing is in progress?

The threat of CWD seems to make deer hunting a gamble, not only to human health but to a hunter's savings account.
A deer found positive could make the harvest turn out to be a costly flop. You might be out some money on meat you have to discard.
