It looked like a battle ground. Dead deer everywhere, just rotting. Not even any raptors were seen. It was CWD. I don't know the vector, which is the method it is spread. Report below says prions can be found in deer saliva. There will not be any serious research done until this affects livestock. Remember a virus mutates every transmission, in other words it uses your DNA to replicate. I find virology fascinating. I would heed the warning seriously.
