MDC reports 33 CWD positives out of nearly 24,500 samples tested

There are a bunch of old deer camp pics from back in my grandpa's day, dating back to the 1920-30's in a box in my closet.    Bunch of little spike bucks and 6 pointers. One MIGHT BE an 8pt.   But no big massive racks, and these guys were darn good hunters.... yet very proud by the looks on their faces.  

The fish and quail pics are way more impressive to me.   We have more and bigger deer today, but way fewer birds and big fish.

   And things like this is why deer should only be eating what deer are supposed to eat in the wild and not in pens, raised for trophy's and fed processed feeds containing bone marrow and the good lord only knows what else,

How come deer never get Parvo, distemper, rabies, hoof&mouth, mange, lymes, eurlikeosous, or any other contagious diseases to be concerned about?  

It's always something complicated and expensive to diagnose....and impossible to treat or avoid.

Yeah.  How come deer never get mumps, measles, chicken pox and polio!  It's a conspirathy I tell ya!

[fishinwrench]

It's not even a conspiracy, it's just BS 

MDC propaganda.  In a few more years nobody will even be talking about it, they'll have moved on to something else and you'll never be bothered by the worries of CWD again.....even though nothing was ever done about it. (Except a buttload of money thrown at it)

There will still be Bradford Pear trees, Emerald Ash borers, Asian carp, Zebra mussels, and Mustard greens too. We just won't talk about them anymore.

[Terrierman]

Yeah.  Nobody talks about mad cow disease anymore either!  Don't know about you, but I've never seen any of these so called prions.  Why worry?

[MOPanfisher]

Mmmmmm, I love mustard greens.

33 positives out of 24,500 is about a tenth of a percent no worries. 5% I'd be concerned. Maybe those deer made poor lifestyle choices.

the possibility are horrible death from touching much less eating a deer has ramifications far beyond just keeping deer populations healthy..nature is cruel...get too many of anything one or two things happen sickness will cull the herd, or more predators will cull the herd...since we are short bears mountain lions and wolves in sufficient numbers man steps into this roll, deer management has allowed stable and growing deer populations

Prions are those things that suddenly feel like something is biting your leg, but when you reach down to get it.... there's nothing there ! 

I hate those things.  Ya know, the reason you don't see them is because what you felt was them slipping under your skin.  Every one you've ever felt, your whole life, is crawling around inside you, breeding with each other.  They cause those midnight charlie horses, weird unexplained eye twitches, erectile dysfunction, and sharts.  

I got rid of all the ones in my body....and you can too.   Just send $99.99 to my GoFundMe page and as soon as the patent clears I'll ship you the painless/tasteless one-time treatment that rids your anatomy of these destructive organisms FOREVER. 

If not for you, do it for your loved ones TODAY.
