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.
