Thoughts on my own CWD situation

[92xj]

If man gets CWD, and CWD symptoms don't show for 18-24 months and then kill after that, this should pretty much take out the world population within 4 years or so, once man 1 gets CWD, right? Infected man eats at one bait site, I mean buffet, everyone there will get it. One of those folks will fly in a plane, infect those folks, and then the country they travel to. It'll be a more effective covid at controlling world population.

Eat the meat.
We are all waiting for someone to be the first one to get CWD

That works for me.

Kuru disease had instances where symptoms didn't show up for 10-50 years after consumption of infected tissue. That's the wildcard with prion disease that keeps me taking the precautions I do when harvesting deer.

50 years from now and I'm an old man, or dead already. 50 years from now my children still have a lot of years that should be ahead of them.

We know that humans could contract Mad Cow. Incidence of that contraction was still very low and only affected a relatively small number of people. The question is how much risk are you okay with assuming? There are a few steps I can take to reduce the risk of feeding CWD infected deer to my friends and family, so I take them. I also realize the probability of risk with CWD is very low and understand why some don't.
