Out of the literally thousands of deer that I have seen, I have never seen a deer with visual signs of CWD. I am not scientist, but as somebody who has spent their entire life outdoors, I do not believe killing/culling deer in the CWD zones is tha answer. If prions are the contagion, as they claim, culling will only spread the disease, as uninfected deer move into the CWD positive areas to replace the deer that have been removed. Not to mention, the bait piles put in place by the MDC (pick your own state's poison pill) will attract deer from other areas, further spreading the contamination. I am not sure of the solution, but I know killing off the herd, ain't it. As for now, I will carry on eating deer meat over some antibiotic, steroid-filled piece of meat that I have no idea what kind of animal it actually came from (ground "beef"), how healthy the animal was before it died or who handled it and sprayed it with what.
