CI, that isn't new news. Prion disease have a bad habit of mutation and crossing species boundaries. For the sake of deer and elk hunting in this country I sincerely hope it doesn't happen with CWD. However, the possibility is there. That is why I will never hunt an area that is known to have CWD present. I would prefer not to be the first person to die from the disease. Mad cow, at first didn't affect humans from what I have read. This is a scary thing and I find it hard to believe how many don;t think it is a big deal.
