I fear with people in the past moving whole dead deer all around the state and then dumping the carcasses anywhere and everywhere, and the the lax rules on keeping tame deer, it is all over the State. I hope that I am wrong. miles
Yes we all hope it's not widespread. It is possible since we have had so many road killed deer and they weren't being tested. Since the first cases have been diagnosed AGFC has begun testing R K deer and these last 2 are positive.
I don't remember what yr w/o going thru my records but a few yrs back I killed a GAUNT buck which had shed its antlers and was infectious (there was green ooze coming out). In this case the deer had been SHOT earlier in the year, maybe during season ?.
Other than that I have not ever seen a deer that looked sick/weakened or that acted weird. Also I don't pick up road kill -- UNLESS I have killed them.
I just got off the AGFC site and nothing new has been posted per CWD since Monday. That could change at any time.
