Is the suggestion that processing facilities are a vector for wild deer populations?

I brought a Mule deer back from Colorado this year and had to cape the buck and skull cap it and make sure that any spinal material was removed before bringing it into Texas. Also had to have it tested in Colorado at a check station within 24 hours of harvest...it tested negative
I have been hauling deer and Elk back here for 40 years, I never knew......

The deer I shoot don’t hang around landfills much either.
I guess I’m missing the point— I just don’t see how the one-way ticket to a processor that deer punch is much of a factor in CWD spread. I get it that not all deer go to processors... not all mine do, but unless you’re harvesting them somewhere, hauling them down the road and then pulling a Fargo and broadcasting the carcasses across swaths of grazing lands, I just don’t see a widespread contamination mechanism there.

We are not sure if there are human issues related to CWD yet. If there are how easy is it for a processor's equipment to pass CWD on in the sausage they process? It really is scary what all could change if/when they find out more about what all is involved in CWD.

Bahaha...@ what rate? Comparable to that of breeder deer? More? Less? Equal % of harvest? Before or after logical pushback from the breeding industry?
Might wanna check some historical test #'s before you get a comfort level that TPWD is stewarding anything outside or inside of fences...besides a political agenda that is
As far as exotics...the fire sales have already begun before the inventory #'s are due in April. Good job TAHC....way to decimate species for political CYA gain[emoji106]Last edited by RodinaRanč; 02-12-2018, 06:03 PM.
