This is true however It is not restricted to scent glands and lure.. A CWD infected deer leaves the proteins in everything from droppings and urine to anything we discard after harvest, guts, bone and fat scraps, literally everything. To top it off the proteins can be found in the grass where a gut pile was left long after it’s consumed by scavengers. Steven Rinella has an excellent pod cast episode loaded with CWD info where he talks with a gentlemen for the Wisconsin DNR about this.
