I too am geared up for the opener. I have had pretty good luck so far, 1 buck bowhunting and a doe T-zone, and I hope that it continues. It seems like there are more deer out there than ever before. The worst part about the CWD thing is that you can't really get your deer processed anywhere, At least here, near La Crosse. Unless you bone it out yourself and give them the meat. I have heard of some places that are processing deer as long as you take the carcass with you after they are done. I myself have just been cutting them up myself. What I have heard is that the biggest problem that the butchers have with it is that they can't get anyone to take the bones from the deer. Well good luck to everyone.
