Lots of cases near the Mississippi River, and this is very close to the Tennessee River. Prions moving in water is something that was studied with Mad-Cow, also a prion. It does make me for one wonder if we need to take a closer look at out water sheds.

I thought mad cow disease was eliminated. Did I miss the memo?

What IS the Truth About a Horrible Disease
It is called spongiform encephalopathy and it amounts to little more than malformed proteins called prions, getting into the brain....

I wouldn't say BSE is eliminated but only a handful of cases have ever been discovered in the US. The last one being around 2018, I believe.
The FDA/USDA have strict protocols in place to keep this diseases at bay.

I just had a phone call said Wayne County has been placed in high risk zone. TWRA CWD mis management plan is in the process of crossing Tn. River.

Dang!! Question for those who have been hunting in the CWD zone -
From what I have read on the TWRA site and the Hunting Guide it appears that the testing of deer in those counties is NOT required, but is recommended and encouraged. Is that correct - testing is optional?
Of course other regulations are required - transportation, feeding, etc.
P.S. I probably should put this on the TWRA forum.

You do nothing
You learn from other states. The states that has had it for decades. Their herds are fine now that they have stopped the mass killing of deer.
I not only hunt hot zones but know dozens of others that do in several states. They just shrug their shoulders at CWD. Even DNR employees.
Bring up EHD and they get that concerned look. CWD is just part of life there.
And many of these states either allow baiting or at minimum the feeding of supplemental feed.

I kind of got that feeling mule deer and elk hunting in CO. CWD was never mentioned and I laid my eyes on more elk and mule deer than most have ever seen. Important to note - we were in a very dark red zone for CWD if you look at the CO state map.

I thought it was cute last night
They brought TWRA employees to Alabama to help them try to convince hunters here that what they are doing is the best plan of action
Now I will admit that just about every TWRA employee I've ever met was 100% as good of people as you can meet. Very professional
But honestly, bringing them to a CWD meeting was funny to everyone I know that went.
About like bringing Fauci and Biden to a COVID meeting.
I'm glad I didn't go.

Pray for an EHD year (another) for 2022 in Benton, Henderson, Wayne, Perry, Lewis, Humphreys, Hickman ……. And another in 2024. They don't happen back to back. And so on and so forth.

I have a lot of respect for the game wardens. Never really had a bad experience, not even close.
The TWRA idiots at Ellington and the commission need to be fired and replaced with different people or the entire structure changed.
Hi Charlie. I hunt in Henry county, and when I check one in, one of the questions asked is "do you plan on submitting a sample for testing?"
So no, at this point , it's left up to the hunter.

Thanks for the info. My property is in Wayne County so I want to make sure I know the rules for next year. At some point I need to find out how to submit one for testing, assuming I can get the lymph nodes out.
There are drop off boxes in a few places where I hunt, and I'd guess that any positive county would do the same.Thanks for the info.

There are several YouTube vids on removing the glands. It's pretty easy.
So how many Americans have died from CWD from consumption of contaminated venison, or elk?

I believe it has been around since the 1960's and apparently has not bothered humans, I don't want to be the "first" case though.
But do the articles below have zero validity? I have no clue who the guy is, one of my friends shared it with me, some of his family are from the area the articles come from.

"Have any deer tested BEFORE YOU GUT IT! If you disregard that advice, DO NOT clean a deer shot in the spinal column or brain. Don't cut through any bone; just cut the meat off the carcass without causing any cuts or damage to the spinal column or any bone marrow. And don't even touch any deer that appears to be sick, or acting strangely."
But I ask….. how many Americans die from Alzheimer's, strokes, and no federal or state agency has lost their minds over it enough to stop the known risk factors for these diseases. This makes absolutely no sense to shoot the deer, and then the prions are passed onto the buzzards, coyotes,etc that eat the dead.
There is a higher chance of getting killed on the interstate this afternoon driving home than dying from CJD from venison
