You just want to avoid central nervous system bits and pieces. Sausage would not be a good idea from an unknown source, but a nice bit of smoked tenderloin would be quite good. Also, if you know your hunter friend, you have to assume that he/she would not take down a sick "downer" animal. Paranoia is sometimes useful, just know the facts.

Deer in Minnesota are suffering from a Chronic Wasting Disease that is pretty much the same prion base as CJD and Mad Cow Disease. I was offered some venison at a BBQ by one of my neighbors who is a deer hunter and kindly declined... :-( Karen @ paranoid about the food system -- Karen Nakamura http://www.photoethnography.com/ClassicCameras/ _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
