It wasn’t at all. Now there are states and counties in some states with deer populations showing like 1 in 4 or even 50%+ of the entire population having CWD. I know the northern states, those populations are in real bad shape now.
You can send the neck lymph nodes and brain stem in for testing by your state wildlife agency. Wait for results.

That’s some scary stuff. Most hunters are probably the type to say science is just a liberal conspiracy, so it doesn’t surprise me.
No prions for me, thanks.

I think it has, or they think it has.
