Wonder how many other life forms on planet earth now have covid or a test says they do. I can't wait for them to declare fruits and vegetables have become carriers too ! Actually they could if an infectious individual handed you a Potato I suppose. hahaha
Here am I!
As a deer-whisperer, the deer are saying they don't care if covid comes - they've been having to deal with wasting deer disease, and covid ain't shit when it's compared against that.
Eat what you want, just make sure you cook it first. That won't do anything about the wasting disease, which is a prion like BSE and kuru-kuru, but it'll kill the covid dead.
When it comes to a choice between eating or starving to death, best to play the averages on this one.
Who cares if they close deer season? When has that ever stopped us hill folk before? If you'll shoot a doctor coming to stab you, taking out a game warden for trying the starve you out is just a step up.
Leaving game wardens laying ain't nothing new around here. I even had to face one down at a trout stream once, and I wasn't even fishing! I was just minding my own business camping, didn't even have a fishing rod - but I had a rifle, on account of the potential for prowling bears, He said he was gonna take my rifle, but since it was in my hands at the time, he left without it when I told him he'd only take it lead-first, and reaching towards me was an unsafe maneuver.
I know another guy who was squirrel hunting "out of season", but on his own land, when a game warden approached. Gamey tried to give him a ration of shit, but homeboy kept his composure and said "see that fence you just crossed? better get yer ass back to the other side of it, or you'll never be seen or heard from again. Yer tresspassing." and the warden went away, 'cause he knew there was a strong potential he might end up like another one, that was shot 9 times with his own 6-shooter... the assailant clearly had to reload to gain the proper amount of satisfaction for having his peace disturbed.
There was once a president who said "we have nothing to fear but fear itself". Don't be scared - make THEM scared.
That's how you win without even having to really fight.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
