I live somewhere that "doesnt have cwd" despite confirmed cases right across a geographically meaningless border. A sickly, relatively young deer dropped dead with no signs of trauma last summer on my street. I tried to report it to see if I could have it tested, and I was given contact info for the state biologist. I reached out, but they never got back to me.

I guess there's no confirmed cases if you don't confirm cases.

Does it cost money for you?

Washington state.

It looks like Colorado has an actual management plan for it. I guess they have a big chunk of the state where the economy relies on hunting. Hopefully the reintroduction of wolves does some help with it there, too.
