It's bad enough to have to give up deer hunting, they might be around 125# of meat, but gezz; to have to give up Elk! That would be a real killer! However, if we were allowed an option to test the critter....
On this side of the river; we still have a chance to wipe it out. Sorry to say it is too late by you; very sorry - heck my adopted home state is AK! It's personal on BOTH sides of the river for me! I'm only still here for family considerations. I made Carla read James Mitchner's book "ALASKA" before I'd propose and told her that when I say it is time; we're gone!
To quote the one we both hate; "I feel your pain" - but in this case - I mean it! I'm an Alaskan in my soul. There is no way to prevent this disease from getting there, if it hasn't already.
But gezz, give the hunters a chance to know their meat is safe BEFORE they feed it to their families!
