Still with no deer to human transmission in any state. This has been a disease known for decades in other states so you can't tell me a hunter hasn't eaten a deer with CWD.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio officials have not ruled out killing an estimated 300 captive deer at a hunting preserve where a buck infected with chronic wasting disease was confirmed.
A spokeswoman for the state Department of Agriculture told the Zanesville Times Recorder that no decision has been made about what to do with the deer remaining at the preserve. The spokeswoman said that killing all the deer at the ranch in Millersburg is "not off the table," and there is no set schedule for when a decision will be made, said Erica Hawkins.
Meanwhile, the discovery of the rare disease has prompted the Ohio Division of Wildlife to ask for tissue samples of wild deer around the preserve known as the World Class Whitetails of Ohio ranch in Holmes County, northeast of Columbus. As of Sunday, the disease had not been found in Ohio's wild herd, The Columbus Dispatch reported.
The disease, which hasn't been shown to infect humans, attacks the brain of the infected animal, produces lesions, and eventually kills the animal. Wildlife officials are asking for deer heads on a voluntary basis in the sampling area, which is restricted to eight townships in Holmes County surrounding the preserve.
The agriculture department, which oversees captive deer operations in the state, confirmed an infected buck at the Millersburg site last month.
Bryan Richards, the chronic wasting disease project leader at the National Wildlife Health Center, told the Times Recorder that euthanizing the deer from a diseased herd has been the management tool employed at the majority of facilities across the United States and Canada to reduce the risk to free-ranging deer outside the facility
Curt Waldvogel, president of Whitetail Deer Farmers of Ohio, said it is too early to know the best response to the disease found at the Ohio ranch. The industry tries to work with the farmer and the state to develop the best solution, he said.
A message left Sunday at the ranch in Millersburg seeking comment was not immediately returned.
At least 19 states have found the disease in their wild deer populations. Ohio was the 14th state to identify the disease in its captive population.

EHD is viral while CWD is prion lates disease, two very different beasts. Immunity can be obtained with EHD infected deer, while CWD is always fatal.This would be akin to saying well a guy up town has the flu so we murdered everyone in town to make sure they were all safe. Totally mind numbing.
Never say Never- back many pages in this thread I listed a link to a study that the cwd prion jumped to Monkeys in a study and infected them raising concern of transmission to humans. In today's world with covid and other infectious diseases running rampant, you can't rule it out.Still with no deer to human transmission in any state. This has been a disease known for decades in other states so you can't tell me a hunter hasn't eaten a deer with CWD.
"The CWD prion has been shown to experimentally infect squirrel monkeys, and also laboratory mice that carry some human genes. An additional study begun in 2009 by Canadian and German scientists, which has not yet been published in the scientific literature, is evaluating whether CWD can be transmitted to macaques—a type of monkey that is genetically closer to people than any other animal that has been infected with CWD previously. On July 10, 2017, the scientists presented a summary of the study’s progress (access the recorded presentationExternalexternal icon), in which they showed that CWD was transmitted to monkeys that were fed infected meat (muscle tissue) or brain tissue from CWD-infected deer and elk. Some of the meat came from asymptomatic deer that had CWD (i.e., deer that appeared healthy and had not begun to show signs of the illness yet). Meat from these asymptomatic deer was also able to infect the monkeys with CWD. CWD was also able to spread to macaques that had the infectious material placed directly into their brains."
"To date, there is no strong evidence for the occurrence of CWD in people, and it is not known if people can get infected with CWD prions. Nevertheless, these experimental studies raise the concern that CWD may pose a risk to people and suggest that it is important to prevent human exposures to CWD."
This all could have been minimized and controlled better long ago by eliminating high fence game farms.
I agree with the game farms, complete 100%. I remember a GW telling me how he killed an elk with 12ga slugs because it had escaped a ranch and they did NOT want it running around. He used what he had at the time.
So we can go on slaughtering hundreds of otherwise healthy deer. Awesome. Seems legitEHD is viral while CWD is prion lates disease, two very different beasts. Immunity can be obtained with EHD infected deer, while CWD is always fatal.
Hope this comes to fruition-

NEW TESTING TECHNOLOGY CAN HELP BETTER CONTROL CWD
- Thursday August 25, 2022 - DDH Staff
RT-QuIC (Real-time quaking-induced conversion) testing for Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) is a new testing technology with a long and successful track record in research studies. The key advantage for RT-QuIC over past CWD testing technologies is dramatically improved sensitivity through PCR-like amplification of the CWD agent.
Benefits RT-QuIC technology can bring hunters include better control of CWD, reduced introduction of CWD to new regions, easier and simpler sample collection for testing of harvested game, timelier CWD test results, and the possibility of live animal testing for wildlife management agencies and game farms.

How long are we gonna play Russian roulette with our native herd by allowing the deer farms to continue, all the hunters I know could care less about the Amish and their fat wallets who have the majority of the deer farms, but we do care about our own native herds, ODNR you are held 3rd party accountable, I think you are quite aware of what has to be done, and fast, I think it is also time to say good bye to the use of feeders, one infected deer shows up at a feeder and say bye to your deer herd, people—-feeders are NO GOOD and not worth the risk, they will eventually be banned and should be, I stopped using them a long time ago because of the overall health dangers, I now see more mature bucks also on my place.preserve found to have CWD-

Godbless our great buckeye state whitetail deer, and all the brothers and sisters who keep the outdoors alive and well, in closing ponder the description of land leasing as it equals selfishness and greed —- a formula that reduces the amount of hunters to have access to hunt, PETA is loving what you doing, just a thought, maybe some of you will get it, but maybe not!!!

I think we all know what would fix the entire issue, and lessen the danger to our health of our native herds!!!!As a deer farmer. I'm all for that. Knock the whole herd out. Test them all. Nip it in the butt. Ohio could learn a lot from doing so. If other deer have it then we can see the devastation it can have on a herd. And know how fast it can spread by when that deer was introduced to the preserve. But....on the flip side of that...let that farm bring in more deer from only Ohio farms who were not under quarantine at any time. No out of state farms. And every deer killed there from that point is already mandatory tested so we can also see if the disease holds on the grounds by if any others test positive. If so....kill them all again and quarantine the area. Use it as a testing spot. Learn about the disease. How its caused, and spreads. Maybe even how to kill it. It can only help. The preserve who tested positive will just have to eat his costs and that's just what the consequences should be. His fault for bringing deer in from PA where its known to be.

It is sad our "Wild" Big Game populations have come to this......1st video
has a deer that contracted CWD and shows what it goes thru in the final stage of it's life. Good information in both videos that can educate those that watch them.

In March sharp shooters and landowners harvested 132 more deer samples in the CWD Infected zone here in Ohio.
4 more CWD infected deer were positive for the Disease.
The Total now in the CWD zone is 22 Infected deer. One of the deer harvested this March was a fawn, and that is not a positive sign.

Ohio DNR culls 132 more deer in the CWD zone as part of targeted removal efforts - Outdoor News
A total of 132 deer were killed over the multi-day effort by the sharpshooters and landowners. Of that number, four tested positive for CWD.
