[QUOTE="wjschmaltz, post: 350875, member: 6150"] Although the zoonotic potential of CWD is considered low, there are numerous strains and there is a well known gentleman in the Alaskan hunting community that claims up and down his wife has contracted a form of brain wasting disease from ingesting a confirmed CWD-positive Midwest deer. Her cognitive decline has indeed been swift and from what I understand, there is no way for them to confirm the cause. But a lot of unanswered questions remain. Several years ago I worked under a wildlife veterinarian who was legitimately concerned with zoonotic transmission of CWD and his thought was that it's only a matter of time. I think Allen presents a point worth taking into consideration. Would you rather them start lab testing various CWD strains to see if they can transmit to humans (don't have a great track record there)? Or take the more conservative route they are taking? People can argue all they want about the intention of all this, I don't really care to participate in that, just providing more food for thought. I did the corn pile deal for a while. After a couple of years I found that the number of kill opportunities went up substantially by hunting them on the way to where they were eating instead of on top of their food. Cheaper and less time consuming too! [/QUOTE]
