Deer management

[Aili]

Admins: feel free to move this post if it would fit better in another category.

I am in the eastern United States, and so far my area has not had any deer with Chronic Wasting Disease. CWD scares me: it's the Mad Cow of the cervid world. Has it occurred in Europe?

As hunters - for meat and not trophies - I follow closely what our local authorities publish about management tactics, food, habitat, climate and anything that effects our deer populations.
