I smell some "new science" that our Board will come up with that states we can no longer eat CWD animals, therefore giving them the go-ahead to shut down deer hunting

Well, if that crap takes off in the area you hunt combined with another blue tongue outbreak and you won't have to worry about em shutting down deer hunting. There won't be enough left to hunt.

Harvest rate should go down a bit since guys that won’t mess with reporting will also say they didn’t harvest as well.  Does that increase future tags or decrease?
I haven't seen anything increase in the NE .
Opportunities,deer/elk population,cougar quotas,
I mean nothing,not anything increase.....lol.. 😂

Don’t count on it the deer population around Yakima got decimated by louse which caused the deer to rub their fur off and succumb to the elements and the WDFW never halted seasons. Harvest rates are still abysmal in that part of the state. CWD may kill a significant number of deer in the NE but they will not curtail your hunting season.

I get it ,trust me I do.
Guess what I'm saying, if anyone decides not to test.
Please dump your carcass back into the GMU or leave your carcass in the GMU from which you harvest.
Not really asking that much here, I understand not trusting WDFW.
Even if I don't test, I'm dumping my carcasses back where I harvest.
It's just the right thing to do ,to protect the rest of the state from CWD.

So what makes you think that they aren't already there?

Just because nothing has been tested.  Look at the wolves that got imported into Washington. Started in the northeast corner and they are getting reports all the way to just outside the Emerald city.

Anyone know how many confirmed cases we’ve had in WA?  Maybe I missed it?

Washington State: Confirmed CWD Cases

1. First Confirmed Case
   •   Date Detected: July 2024 (announced August 1, 2024)
   •   Location & Specimen: A white-tailed deer (female) found dead in the Fairwood area north of Spokane County    .
   •   WDFW had been preparing for CWD for years and ramped up surveillance—this detection triggered expanded testing and adjustments in their disease management strategy     .

2. Second Confirmed Case
   •   Date Announced: November 15, 2024
   •   Details: Adult male white-tailed deer harvested by a hunter during the opening weekend of firearm deer season, in Spokane County—about 5 miles north of the first case   .

3. Four Additional Cases
   •   Timing: Mid to late November samples, with results announced in mid-December 2024
   •   Details:
   •   Four additional hunter-harvested male white-tailed deer tested positive—bringing the statewide total to six confirmed cases   .
   •   Three of these were taken within 5 miles of the two initial cases (Spokane area, GMU 124).
   •   One came from Pend Oreille County (GMU 117), near Davis Lake—marking geographic spread of the disease
