Our county in Missouri hasn’t found any CWD yet. Our processor says he’s not cutting through bones anyway. I guess if it hits our county we will have to get it tested before we decide to eat it? We are certainly not over populated at the farm.
Our home in St Louis sits next to a 2,000 ac State Park. We are definitely over populated there. I’ve had seven plus deer in my front yard many times. My sons used to shoot them with paintball guns to get them out of the plants. When we built in 1984 if we saw a deer it was big news. Getting to be way too many here now.
The farm, not even half the deer numbers.

9 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep.
RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these.
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.
