2 more CWD cases found in Marshall County Mississippi.

LINK to MDWFP CWD map

The only thing on the map that doesn’t make sense are the two in Issaquena being so far from the hotspot in south Tennessee/north Mississippi.

CWD has been blown way out of proportion. We lose a hell of a lot more on roadways then we do to disease.

I had an idea and you guys tell me if it is possible or dumb because I have never heard it proposed. Could scientist create and introduce something in the feed that could cause a reaction in CWD positive deer that could make a visual change in the deer? Example in my mind would be the reaction could cause a change of coat color or even coat sheds like when giving a cancer patient chemotherapy. This would make CWD positive deer viewable and they could be targetted and removed.

It's getting a little scary. It will be interesting to see how this affects hunting deer in the future.

Colorado has been dealing with this longer than any other state. Deer and elk hunting are doing very well there.

I can’t help but think these Mississippi and Tennessee CWD deer are the result of escaped, imported high-fence deer. There is no natural progression from a CWD area to Issaquena and Marshall County, Mississippi or the Tennessee counties.

I don't have a worry about CWD killing off the herd. I do worry about the possibility of an eventual jump to humans. If that occurs anywhere just once, deer hunting (and value of hunting land) will be crushed. Processors will not be able to process deer anymore for worries of contamination with other meat sources.

What if jumps to humans, then becomes transmissible between us, as it is in deer or as scrapie is in sheep?

Colorado saying it is manageable takes the edge off a little. Still scary. Plus we have warmer winters and more tropical climate that stands to reason it would spread worse.


If MWDF was smart they would video a 140’ buck with CWD say it is in MS and broadcast it everywhere. Private donations would skyrocket and the Bone Collector-should have waited till next year- Mafia will lose their minds.

After nearly 50 years since the disease was first reported, no one is sure how it even spreads. Thus the skip areas on the map. Is is in the soil, air, water? Carried by insects, birds or other vectors? No one knows. Also It is caused from a prion that may be near impossible to destroy by standard methods of sterilization. Right now it's not an issue to man unless it makes that transmission jump. If it ever does, then deer hunting (and elk) would change dramatically.
