RE: Those Deer !

Been in the local papers around here for the last few months. You can
start the story here-
http://www.thetimesonline.com/index.pl/article?id=16109344
And if you do a search on this site, will come up with a few more
articles. There was another one ...must have been in the Chgo area
paper... today. Claims three people have died from brain disease
problems. All ate at the same wild gathering-- or something to that
effect... Gee-- been working to hard.. can't remember the exact details,
but did snip it out for my hunter boss! :( Will see if it is still on
his desk in the morning.)
