Well this year my wife and I were lucky to bag 2 great bucks the 3rd season in unit 3. However it was a mandatory CWD testing unit. Low and behold both bucks tested positive. The CDC and all the wildlife agencies say to throw the meat away and do not consume it. This problem seems to be quite prevalent in NW CO and parts of WY. After doing much research on the subject I do not think it is worth the risk with so many unknowns. There is nothing you can do to rid the meat of the prions. I asked about mountain lions and their consumption of deer that are infected. They told me that their studies show that the lions don't contract CWD however they become carriers of the disease. Let the opinions fly.
