There has never been a reported case of sickness or death related to CWD and it's been out west for 30+ years. It's definitely in the whitetail population in the northern most tier of counties from Winnebago and east. With the meat being done at a processor, could be a chance that not all of the processed meat ended up being his deer, varies amongst processors how they operate. But I would suspect processors in these areas are now making sure to deliver customers' venison from only their deer. We have processors in our area who are sending in the heads to DNR (no charge) for testing when you take one in for processing. Testing results are posted within several weeks on DNR's website.
