Hippos and a snow leopard.

Yes I saw that but I don't see many people hunting them around here. I was thinking more like turkey, quail, ducks, goats, or even bears. Do fish get it?

Leopards I can handle. Hippos, I'm going to need a new rifle. "Haaay DW. We got to talk."

When I was young my father and uncles were going to teach me how to hunt. We went to the begining of the trail to scout out the area. They stopped and started talking. I was 6yrs old. I saw a deer and walked up slowly and started petting it. They saw me and told me not to pet the animals we are going to hunt. The deer took off and we started down the trail. I was walking behind listening to them talk about the trail. How to tell by foot prints where an animal was going and how the print can tell you how long ago they had passed. The deer came up behind us and I started petting it as we walked the trail. MY uncle turned and said that is it you can not hunt. I was never taught how to hunt. They said it wasn't sportsmen like to hunt what is going to walk up to you.

When I was a kid I found a doe in the forest preserve adjacent to our pasture. She had a red collar that had a tag saying My name is Gertrude. Needless to say she was very tame.

Common sense and healthy eating.....started a garden with chickens and now 20 new chicks be positive and stay in good health!

If the deer are dead how are the virus living in them. Something is flawed in the testing.

Thats amazing. You must be really good with animals for a deer to just let you pet it! The closest I ever got to one was in our backyard. It was watching the chickens and I was downwind of it. I approached it slowly but it got scared and fled when I got with 10 feet of it.

I looked it up a while ago, birds are unlikely to catch it.

I can't give a timeline but everything doesn't die right away. Bacteria, virusis and parasites would be living independent of the host.

How did the deer get it to begin with? Don't they 'socially distance' from humans?

Feral cats, maybe?

A year and a half ago, or a little more, I played with the idea of an actually effective lockdown. But it was already in feral cats then, so the idea would not have worked.
