Nope. YOU should mask up to protect the deers.

The mayor of New York will step in and make a social distancing mandate for deer?

Methinks this says more about the ridiculousness of the tests.

That said... my doe encounter??

So next time im out in the woods I'll have to try to track them by hearing them coughing and blowing their nose?

Next up from Charlie Baker, "MA environmental police ordered to enforce mask requirement on deer population."

Oh dear!

On a more serious note though, I wonder if it leads to any advisories for whitetail hunters...

Damn man, that was an interesting read. So it sounds like you got COVID, almost killed yourself hitting the mountain bike trails with it, and suffered from illusions where a mysterious doe deer came out of the woods and told you life's secrets.

If I'm going to have to shoot deer from more than 6 feet away, I'm going to have to get in some more range time

This story is one thing. Buy wait until Fauxi and the Chinese finish the gain of function research on prions and we all get chronic wasting disease.

We'll be able to find them now by their toilet paper stashes.

IDK what you all are worried about. This is Massachusetts and Baker has that covered in the new mask mandate.

So how exactly are we going to eradicate covid if it can exist and circulate in native wildlife?

We're not. And the vaccines don't work.

What needs to happen is simple: enough of us need to get it and get over it. Just like, oh, thousands and thousands of viruses that came before it.

I did mine. Your turn!
