Deer, at least. Need a lot more doe tags though bc CWD and overpopulation. Also deer meat being donated to food banks is a thing, I know people who do, that's good. Also good bc it doesn't support factory farming.

    that’s fine I guess but there is clinical evidence that you can get CJD from eating tainted venison so its not necessarily the healthiest thing to expose people to.

    Eh, many types meat can give you CJD, it's just extremely rare and it's probably similarly rare of venison.

      Incorrect; CWD and CJD are both prion disorders, you're only going to get CJD from prion infected animals, i.e. Mad Cow disease. You think COVID is bad, but a prion based pandemic could quite literally be an extinction level event.

        Yes, and I am saying you can get it from many types of meat. Prions aren't very transmissible, you can't conceivably have a real prion pandemic, it has never happened and you definitely won't get it from venison.

        EDIT: By "get it" I mean get a pandemic. I may be possible for a human to get a prion disease from venison, but it seems extremely unlikely so far, and not a lot of people eat venison.
