Trust the science! None of them or our government would lie to us! Ask the climate experts, Fauci, etc. Never think about it. Similar to and the same, are way different.

If that helps you sleep better at night, then so be it. But when it comes to CWD, that's not a valid diagnosis. Thousands of seemingly healthy deer test positive in WI every season.

Thousands? You are probably right but could you enlighten us with some facts and figures?

Not quite thousands I guess. 1500ish for the 2023 season. Surely all those deer weren't stumbling around looking sickly. A buddy of mine has shot a few that tested positive and they all looked perfectly healthy.

May I suggest that you research this yourselves and don't take this ^^^^^^ info as accurate. It could end up bad 4 u.

Prions exist in saliva, urine, orbital fluid, marrow, spinal fluid, brain tissue,...and presumably blood.

Many infected deer don't show any physical symptoms until older...as in 4, 5, 6 years plus old.

But, don't take my word on this. Im no expert. What I know came from reading a lot about it, sitting thru two in-service training sessions presented by Ga wildlife biologist b4 I retired as a GW, and working as a contractor this past fall collecting lymph nodes from deer necks in several counties for testing.
