planeflyer21 Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 It was pretty isolated 10 years ago, seems to be spreading quite a bit. http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvrd/cwd/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shepp Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 Think it's blown way outta proportion they have decimated the herd here in southern wi and spent millions on somthing that's been in other states for years and years, and I'm pretty sure that you can only get it if you eatting stuff like the brain. If you ever saw an animal with cwd you wouldn't eat it anyways they literally look like a zombie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

planeflyer21 Posted October 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 There was some theorizing a few years back that deer with CWD were getting it from stockyards with cattle...that are eating ruminants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripledeuce Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 CWD is caused by prion infection of the brain. It can only be killed by temperatures in excess if 1,000*, The brain, spinal cord, and spinal fluid is affected. I, personally, NEVER cut any bone on a deer or elk. I bone out everything. Yes, I do leave some meat on the bone, epecially around the neck bones! BUT If I don't cut the spinal cord, there is NO chance to contaminate the meat. Animals with CWD have been found in Colorado for over the last 10 years. I;v never heard of anyone coming down with the disease.

shepp Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 (edited) We had two guys here in Wisconsin die of it I think that's what sparked the "iratication" zone here. But like I stated before they were eatting things like the brains. We also don't cut any bones we bone everything Edited October 26, 2014 by shepp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sisco Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 (edited) An aquaintance got a case from eating Elk he shot in Colorado. It is very similar to Jakob Creutzfeldt Syndrome, or Mad Cow Disease. Caused by a Prion which is essentially a glorified protein. Can withstand heat to 1600 F so you can't cook it out. Best thing is to inspect the animal for general health and like said above, stay away from organs, brains and bones.
