DonAndersen Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 Monger, Just add that to the list: WD Asian Carp Etc. Same reason just a different affront to our outdoor resources. ALBERTA PROUD Quote
danhunt Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 Wow, that was a sobering read, thanks for the link. I knew CWD was a serious issue, but I had no idea it was that transmissible or that it persisted in the environment the way it does. And I had never considered the possibility of plants having the potential to take up the prions and transmit them as well. Quote
monger Posted March 21, 2017 Author Posted March 21, 2017 The plant thing is very scary. I don't think I will be eating mule deer from the east side of province going forward Quote
danhunt Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 Unfortunately it's also been found in whitetail and it was recently detected in the CFB Suffield elk herd as well. Going forward I'm thinking it wouldn't be a bad idea to submit the heads of any game taken anywhere in the province for testing. Quote
