If it's like every other prion disease, it has to have CNS material. The problem with Mad Cow was that the UK was still including it in ground beef and other processed meats at the time, as well as feeding it to the cows, exponentially worsening the outbreak.
Commercial meat processing now days uses increasingly aggressive ways to strip the last scraps of meat from spinal columns. This can result in bits of spinal tissue being included in ground beef, increasing the risk of prion contamination.
The best way to process your own deer meat and decrease the risk of disease transmission is to debone your deer. Eliminate using saws to cut through bones/spine.

I find it interesting that people get freaked out over an obscure ,rare disease such as CJD.Deaths estimated to be about 350 a year in US.
On the other hand in 2022 699,659 people died from cardiac disease.607,790 people died of cancer.Both of which are caused,in large part,by the Standard American Diet.
Preserved meat(ham,sausage,bacon,etc) are a known cancer risk as are grilled and smoked meats(steaks,burgers).Then there are highly processed foods,fast foods and such which are a mainstay of the American diet.
But there are those that won’t eat deer and are horrified at the idea of eating squirrel heads(my favorite part,BTW) from the speculative risk of catching CJD,which has never been proven and is very rare.
I have a cousin that died last year from it,Drs said it was spontaneous which I have no idea how that is determined vs.acquired.
It’s a bad way to die but personally I’d rather die from that or Alzheimers than ALS or terminal cancer.If I’m dying I would rather not know about it.
