I'm getting ready to process a deer from a CWD zone, and thinking about precautions to take during the butchering process to avoid contamination of tools and surfaces in case it is positive. The eyes, brain and spinal column are obvious places to avoid, but I have a question about lymph nodes. Page 65 of this year's hunting regs summary had a rough diagram of lymph node locations. I know about the ones in the hind quarters, but it looks like there are a couple more in the chest or shoulder area, and some in the neck as well. Can anyone help me figure out how to locate these? Are they in the meat, or will they have been discarded during field dressing? I'd like to find them and remove them whole without cutting through them if possible. Google has been surprisingly unhelpful.
