Thats great news Epona! What would cause an outbreak like this? Can they eat any parts at all of the infected deer?
On the other hand statistics show that through careful conservation efforts, there are more deer and turkey in the U.S. then when the pilgrims hit Plymouth. And that is good news to say the least. Just hate to see any animal killed for any reason. Sorry to hear that Adam. |

LOL Epona! [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img] Thatīs a tag I have to remember! [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] I have never understood the point of hunting. You go out shoot a deer and get a nice dinner. Isnīt it more conveniant to call a hunter and get the game/venison delivered at the door step? Thatīs my kind of hunting

[img]smile.gif[/img] Thanks for the info. Back in the Pacific Northwest we always had to worry about 'Beaver Fever'(sorry, I dont know the proper name). It's similiar to Dysentary in effect. It's not deadly(unless you get weakened by dehydration and cant get to help), but it's thoroughly uncomfortable. It is carried by small woodland rodentia(mostly beaver, hence the name) and you can get it by eating undercooked infected meat, or drinking in un-sanitized creek water...erm...apparently it's in the beaver poop. [img]graemlins/1disgust.gif[/img] Fortunately, if you boil the water, or use standard water purification tablets, it takes care of the problem. LOL...We used both when we were camping. The pills, then boiled the water. The pills leave a funky aftertaste, but after you boil it, the taste is mostly gone. With the meat, as long as you make sure you cook it thoroughly, there's no problem. Fortunately, at least when I was an active hunter, Mad Cow wasn't that big of an issue. Back then it was just E-Coli. :S

HAHAHAHAHAHA Too funny Willow! HEHE I could get into that sort of hunting myself. [img]smile.gif[/img] Erm...to respond though...from my own perspective, I hunt because I love the taste of most game animals. There's nothing quite like deer, or elf(MMMMMMMM) or most wild animals. Farm raised geese or turkeys are fine, but they all taste the same. Wild ones taste much different. Each one tastes slightly diffent from another. Has to do, I assume, with their diet, since all farm raised animals are fed pretty much the same thing. Anyhew...that's my :twosents:. Nacht EDIT: You know...I was going to edit this for spelling...but the typo is just too damn funny. HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE [ 11-22-2002, 10:26 AM: Message edited by: Nachtrafe ]

I don't like to see cruelty to any living creature, but PETA are really quite quite mad IMO, anyone who puts the lives of animals before the lives of humans has their priorities arse about face. At work we receive all kinds of hate mail from animal rights groups (not all of them, I hasten to add, there are plenty of groups that campaign peacefully), including things like rotting meat, razor blades taped under the flap of envelopes, packets claiming to contain anthrax, even nailbombs, that sort of thing. Fortunately all our post is screened [img]smile.gif[/img] I don't mind the idea of shooting animals too much but wouldn't do it myself, and if it is for food then fine, I don't like it if it's just for the sake of it. It's probably less cruel than what goes on in slaughterhouses anyway!
