So it says “voluntary sample”. Wonder if the hunter simply wanted to test his/her deer? Or did it give reason to warrant testing? (Was the deer showing signs)
Just curious, bc if everyone got their deer tested, what would we find- OR
How happy would you be that a CWD was processed where yours was and contaminated all the deer that were processed there. (Which is a scary as hell thought)

it really should become mandatory within a certain range where CWD has been identified. No way to remotely know what is going on without that. If it is not mandatory, it will get out of control until it is too late.

Just curious,

Lots of clubs are doing this as a club policy.

There could be twenty deer standing in a field, 15 of them infected, and you wouldn't be able to tell. The only time you can assume they may have it is when they're literally at death's doorstep. This, in my opinion, is what makes it so scary. I can't just go out and identify the infected ones to remove. Otherwise, this thing would be stopped in its tracks.
