Tennessee confiscated my buddy's deer.

He and a friend of his took their deer to a processor across the state line from Virginia into Tennessee and green jeans immediately confiscated both of their deer. Neither of them was aware that Tennessee had a quarantine on deer from Virginia due to CWD being found in some Virginia deer. They learned the hard way. Found this video about CWD from Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency. The link shows the states that have CWD and those that do not. I'd check the list if I was planning on going out of state to deer hunt. This disease is having a very detrimental effect on the deer herds as well as taxidermists and processors. Maybe it's one of nature's ways of culling the ever growing deer population?

There have actually been very few confirmed CWD cases in whitetail deer nationwide. These rules that states are passing are simply precautionary because conservationist don’t know how the disease is spread.

They are trying their best to stop the spread because once your area has it your deer are as good as wiped out. It is a serious issue.

sorry but not much sympathy from me. Not knowing the rules isn't much of an excuse. I for one am glad states are being pro-active in trying to stop the spread of CWD.
Did they just confiscate or did they fine him as well?

They just confiscated the deer. Could have fined them, though.

sucks he lost his deer and then they probably were wasted. But the wardens went easy on him and also were effective in getting the word out not to cross state lines.

Pope County, Illinois had an outbreak a few years ago. It really screwed up the population.

Do neither states have tags? Seems like this would have taken a good bit of ignorance from the buddies. This is usually very well known, and I would think the processors would make people aware. Usually they have a big arse sign out front if they are close to the state line that says they can't take X states deer?

Same rule in Mississippi for all you Louisiana hunters. Beware of the rules

You can transfer deer from Mississippi to Louisiana as long as you don't have the head or spine. Quartered deer are acceptable.

Until states shut down high fences, the are doing very little to stop CWD.

How would processing a dead deer be a threat to living herds in a state?
Kinda dumb rule in this instance

The prions that cause CWD are found in the brain and spinal tissue. If that waste is mishandled from the processor it could end up in the water supply or fields somewhere, potentially infecting more deer and spreading the disease.

I don't understand the reasoning here?

But how do you transfer from TX to LA, because TX wants you to keep the head while traveling?

Alabama started the same thing last year. However you can take the meat off the deer and be legal. No spinal fluid or brain matter. In other words, cut out the tenderloin and quarter him up. You should then, be allowed to take it across state lines.
I just got back from an Elk hunt in Montana and it was a similar situation. Had all the meat in cooler and drilled out the base of the skull and got all the brain tissue out. I called our DCNR before I left.

Did you bring full skull or just horns back? How did you get all material off?

Captive populations have a higher risk of infection. It only takes one arse hole to import an infected deer from Tom Dick and Harry's white tail emporium. Believe it or not, this happens way more than you probably think.

Guess you have to ship it somehow. LA law says no skull or spine.

Define "very few", because the CDC had cases identified in free-ranging herds in New York, Connecticut, Virginia, Maryland, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Arkansas, Minnesota, Iowa, Texas, and Missouri as of September 2017. And those are definitely not mule deer in those states.
I doubt the populations in SE Nebraska are mule deer, but I left that one off.
