Should I be worried about CWD?

[1raggedhole]

I live in Indiana and as of yet, it isnt here. We just in last couple of years got to rifle hunt!
Man that changes the game. First rifle deer was a neck shot and man I like seeing them go down twitchless!
But CWD is a darn Prion desease, which watching the vids of people passing from "Mad Cow" is nearly enoughto turn a fellow Vegan. Whats the new thoughts on all this?
Am I just a worrier or should I be taking some other precations beyond not shooting obviously sick deer?

You should be more worried about being permanently disabled or killed in a car accident.

If worried about it Just like pork ,chicken cook the meat through. Medium rare probably isn’t enough.

Just an FYI. Cooking does not destroy the CWD prion.

I got a case of CWD in the Philippines back in '68. Penicillin took care of it.
