Have you read about the 2 (?) Wisconsin (?) hunters who had yearly ritual venison dinners and who died of Mad Cow (deer?) disease? It was a hot topic around here a few years ago when Wasting Disease became endemic in our deer herds on the eastern side of the state. I had a friend who had eaten nothing but deer shot on his own property for probably a decade and when they started testing, his region had the highest infection rate. Not a pleasant thought.

There is no infection around here....yet the DNR does free testing of animal's anyway. You are putting yourself at much higher risk eating produce or store bought meat though.
CWD has been around for a LONG time now that deer populations are higher than colonial times the disease spreads rapidly. Around here before farming the land could sustain 3-6 whitetails a square mile the average NOW is 36.
I
think lebenz meant that the deer population being hit by CWD was the tragedy.
