Unsure the implications, but certainly interesting.

I saw/heard about this a month or so ago.
So if a wild animal gets chicom flu going about its daily life of romping through the forest without human contact that tells me it is aerosolized and no one is safe.
Now I really want to see babbling joe try to get masks on the deer population.

Maybe they weren't exposed to it!
Maybe they started it!

Note the timing of this news release... the war on fun & anything related to traditional America, continues.

Oh well, I have had the origional,vaccine and the delta variant of the Fauci Flu. I should be OK

[wvfarrier]

The corona virus has existed in wild and domesticated animals for as long as humans have recorded such things.

Truth.
This country has been destroyed. It's just coasting down for a while before it becomes Haiti.

pretty much. I said on campfire last year we would have mutations, new strains, riots, scandals, killer covid mice and possibly even aliens. Monster of the week stuff. Pretty much right on so far, election scandal, BLM riots, new strains, we even got UFO reports a couple months back. Ok so it was whitetails not mice but I was close. .

Just another way to stop hunting and therefore the need to own guns! Have they mentioned if fish can get?

This baloney is getting beyond stupid. What lengths will they go to to continue spreading their propaganda? Does anyone really worry about catching covid from the local deer?

I also heard about this a month or two ago, but for the life of me, I couldn't figure out how a deer would get infected with covid. Must be game farms right? When else are humans getting close enough to deer so that an infected person would transmit to deer. It can't be that it's floating around in the air or literally every human would have contracted it by now. Something just seems off about this.

although maybe I can use this info to keep down the competition in the area that I hunt!!!!

better not hunt this year - might get covid from the deer

this is going to kill deer wrestling season.

I'm really tired of people giving up on the American experiment. It is not over. It is my privilege to interact with Army soldiers and Air Force airmen on a daily basis. These young people give me hope and pride, and I am not about to give up on what they wear the uniform to defend. Don't get me really started.
OMIGOSH, the country is doomed, they have let in the Irish and now the fools have given women the vote! YAAAAH! The sky is falling!, etc.

My in laws run a custom butchering business in which they process several hundred deer a year....Pa Game Commission stopped in just prior to opening day for archery and told them NOT to accept any deer from out of state. As we are close to Delaware and Jersey they already had to turn away a dozen successful hunters.

Covid is real and here to stay...we know four people now who have died .....between the ages of 40-55 and all were very healthy people with no pre existing conditions.---006

Well it certainly stays where the money is. 1st world countries got hit hard with US top of the list. 100 or so 2nd and 3rd world countries hit less. Its had time to spread round the globe 6x by now so all I can put it down to is the virus can smell a dollar .

My vet was telling me that she dealt with covid virus in animals all the time. Not covid 19 but covid and I'm not sure the government officials can tell the difference now. Here in Kentucky the fish and wildlife department put out a news letter to not field dress deer this year because they may have covid 19. Don't know how not field dressing is going to help any if you still take the meat. I worry more about CWD in deer than covid.
