CWD and what I should know about it

@Yimmyb60 I’m just outside the cwd zone in MD but hunt a little just into it. I’ve called several offices at dnr and got answers from “call the national CDC” to shrugs to “we’ll get back to you”, which they never have. I’m very disappointed in how our DNR has handled this. They don’t even tell the %of infections, just the number of positive cases found in an area. VA has many options for testing but it seems MD is way behind the ball on this. Hopefully something comes up soon and we have a way to get some voluntary testing done.

Can't really "like" your post. But appreciate the info. I think it's shameful that it seems as a non concern to MD DNR.

And without further testing, we all may be in the CWD zone without even knowing.
 
Louisiana has banned moving any deer carcasses from out of state into Louisiana because of CWD - and as I understand LDWF is pretty serious about enforcing that. Where I hunt there have been no documented cases. Probably only a matter of time…

But I am hopeful it won’t “jump” to humans, and with continued care and research, I think we will be able to continue hunting

In Louisiana, it just has to be free of any brain or spinal cord material to be brought in.
