RE: WI MEAT EATERS
I wil be hunting in the SW corner of the state and will be eating what I harvest. My wife may not, but that isn't anything new. I won't be taking as many tags this year, not because of CWD, But because I have a big duck hunting and pheasant hunt coming up and I only have limited freezer space. I still have an elk from Colorado (not worried about this meat either) and some venison from last year.
I really believe that CWD has been around , if not for decades,forever. I think it has been realized only through the technologies of testing and the extremely large quantities of deer in this state. We have had anywhere from 300,000-750,000 hunters in the Wisconsin woods for the past 30 years + and we haven't had any mass human brain afflictions from hunters or there families. I'm not an expert. I don't think there is one yet. But unless the scientists can prove there is a long term gestation period with these prions that affect humans.....I'M EATING MY VENISON !!!!!!
