You can send the neck lymph nodes and brain stem in for testing by your state wildlife agency. Wait for results.

Honestly there are a lot of hunters, not all, that just don’t give a shit. No documented cases of CWD crossing into humans yet. I don’t take the chance.

We had red wolves throughout the south. The northeast had timber wolves. Not to mention puma. Deer had predators everywhere they exist.

Those are cutaneous fibromas or papilomas. Like big warts. Viral in nature.

CWD has no external symptoms beyond the listless “zombie” stage. It just turns the brain into swiss cheese.
