I shoot only fawns for my meat making…kill em before they get a chance to get CWD. Way easier to drag also! They give you a pocket full of tags…might as well use them!

Do you wait for them to lose their spots first? Lol

Those spots come right off when you skin them.

I don’t mind if they have spots…gives a good focal point. Aim small, miss small!

Can it not be passed from the mom? May not present for a few years but they could still have it i though I read.

It has been detected being passed from doe to fawn in the uterus, not sure how often it happens. Biologist buddy of mine was saying he read that recently. And they can get it at any age, it just isn’t usually detectable for a while.

I’ve modified all my sausage recipes already to limit cwd overdose…40/60/5 pork/venison/cwd. It always comes out 105% tasty and hasn’t affected me much. Sometimes I fry it and eat it with Mac n Cheese for breakfast on sun-daze. If not with Mac, I do it with eggs super over easy. It’s my belief that salmonella naturally fights off cwd. As does ivermectin…in low dose.

lol that’s hilarious.

A lot of mis information in these pages. If you care to know some facts, the podcast below explains the result of a five year cwd study in NW Arkansas that was just completed six months ago. Yes, cwd caused deaths in deer is common in higher prevalence areas. No, there are not immune deer - but some that are less susceptible. The problem with those deer is they may live longer with the disease and spread it to more deer. Yes, cwd will cause a decline in deer density in some areas.

It is a long listen
