CWD in Illinois has not shown up this year, but they are still testing many deer, it is all non-mandatory testing this year, you do it if you want to! But I have not heard of any deer being sick this year! It is a healthier herd this year! Since it is a disease that attcks the brain, and CANNOT be transmitted into the meat, I am not afraid of it all! I do where the gloves, but I am nto afraid of eating the meat!
