last year a friend gave me two deer he had legally killed.. he only wanted the Back Straps, they were dressed properly and were done very cleanly...so I finished cutting them up as I have always done with my deer...5 years ago while hunting I saw a doe dying.. I could not see any wounds on her but she could not get up , it was muzzleloader season I diden;t want to shoot her , so kicked her in the head and she died instantly. I figured she had CWD as it was reported in this area.. I diden,t hunt any more that year... but am wondering how safe is it to eat deer in PA..the guy that gave me the deer has ate the backstraps and diden,t get sick..... I an getting ready to cook some steaks from the deer he gave me... how safe do you think they would be??
