[QUOTE="dogsled, post: 5784811, member: 22589"] I thought it was first detected in Elk in the 70's, but either way it has been around a while. I don't believe that it will lead to the extinction of deer given that we still have plenty of elk roaming out west. I grew up hunting and everyone in my family and social circle hunted and fished. We did it to put food on the table. That aspect is gone for most people these days it seems and I would not go hungry if I didn't hunt. As many others here have stated, my drive to hunt has diminished with age and change in circumstances. I still have places to hunt, my own and others. My best hunting/fishing buddy moved away and my second best never has the time due to work and family, so the camaraderie aspect is gone. Very few hunters in my work or social circles. I have been in a couple of different clubs for a while, but the politics and infighting between members was enough to push me out of those. I will continue to hunt and fish as long as I am able and still get that rush every time I see some brown slipping through the woods or set a hook. But I don't have the zeal for it that I used to have. [/QUOTE]
