I am definitely not schlepping around the woods trying to get deer to stand still for a thermometer, at either end. Not looking for shivering or listening for coughs. Next thing you know, I won't be able to hunt cougar because it might have caught Covid from dinner last night.

Those kinds of jobs don't pay well and are seasonal only, seriously! Good luck paying your student loan debts, which yes it requires at least pursuing a masters, by chasing deer around for 35k a year!
Good point, it's probably ISIS members who can't find goats once they come in through Canada.
I'm so old, when I went to school, it was a college, not a university, minimum wage was $2.25 and tuition, room & board was $65 and $250 per quarter. Working the summers, washing dishes in the school cafeteria and hustling pizzas after school let me finish 4 years without any student debt. A bull elk tag cost $7.75 at the coast to coast store in Rosslyn, and by 9 a.m. opening day, at a cost of 3 30-30 shells from my pre 1964 Winchester 94, I had a 6-point (western-score) on the ground which made my dad jealous because his was only 5 pts. Good times.
Maybe they fraternize with Canadian deer, eh?
Someone more educated in the livestock bidness may want to step in, but I listened to a rancher lady say they have dealt with covid in their cattle for decades. As for me, when our goats start acting unhealthy, I apply ivermectin to their back and in a few days they are back to bouncing around...one looked like he was going to die last winter so I overdosed him with ivermectin and he's back close to 200lbs now.
Definitely sounds like better times!
