Live deer, to live deer.
The prion is still there. Not destroyed, not "dead" not sanitized.
BSE so far, can only be trasmitted through the eating or feeding of "infected" product. CWD transmits in the wild from live animal to live animal. In the final stages of CWD animals begin to droop, and uncontrollably drool and pee and crap shedding tons and tons of prions. This gets in the feed, the soil and the water that other animals use and thus transmits the prion. Animal dies and there are no more proteins being created but the ones that were created are still there and they don't rot like the rest of the animal.
Please read up on CWD to educate yourself.
