My wife and I butchered the deer last night, using the Kentucky afield method (boneless).  However, my wife is a good cook (I am a lucky man), and frugal, who loves the flavor of game, and cannot bear to hear me describe how I am going to get rid of the carcass.   

As for the deer, she says that the very best tasting meat is next to the bones.  Indeed, I woke up this morning to a wonderful smelling vegetable broth she is making out of the front legs.

The deer was taken on the North Shore, about 1 hour north of Duluth.  It was a small doe, but not a fawn. 

I’ll draw the line at the deer brain and spine, but do you think we are taking an unnecessary risk by using some of the ribs and legs for making stock?

No, not unless CWD has migrated that far north.  Eat away!!!
Take a kid hunting and fishing... It'll be the best thing for generations to come.

Good, because it was delicious.  My wife also used the rib meat to cook some stir fry....umn, umn good.  Wow.  I need to get back out and get another one to make my meat supply last longer.

Not at all. In fact the CWD prion protein has not been found to have any effect on humans. If you have seen otherwise it is a farce. If someone else has proof otherwise please print. I will print an interesting study done on elk regarding CWD in the next day or two when I have a bit more time.

as far as i know cwd is a effects the nervous system which is why they say to avoid brain and spine. you should be fine to eat the deer considering where it came from and also if you are in a cwd area cutting through bones and using meat by the bones shouldnt be much of a problem except near the main nervous system of the animal. also the lymph nodes can contain the disease in fact this is what they use to do a lot of testing for cwd. as auggie said cwd is not supposed to effect humans so i wouldnt think twice about it, until jo blow becomes sick and says hes been eating raw deer brains just take your basic precautions.
my wife said it.... im OFFICIALLY ADDICTED to MNO!!
