    Sad circumstances, but hopefully it'll keep CWD out of the deer population. I loved seeing all the elk on my drive to Rochester for the Holidays.:(

    Yeah, kind of sad to see. It was a neat herd to drive by. I suppose it is liability concerns, but I dont see why animals that test negative for CWD cant be used for human consumption as it seems like such a waste of good meat, especially when people are struggling financially.
