Unvaccinated hunters who are camping with people outside their household should keep the following safety tips in mind, officials said:
Wear a mask if you are indoors or can't stay 6 feet apart Sleep in separate rooms, tents or trailers if possible Sanitize hands and surfaces regularly Michigan United Conservation Clubs estimated that hunting and fishing generated $11.2 billion in the state yearly, according to the DNR.
Firearm season starts: Michigan's firearm deer season begins Monday, Nov. 15 Hunters contribute about $8.9 billion, or 80%, of that money.
Evil conservatives blasting Bambi into oblivion /s
Stay at least 6ft. from the deer and wear your mask!
Wipe ammunition with alcohol before loading.
“This year, more than 550,000 deer hunters will head into the woods and fields of Michigan..”
That’s a damned big army right there.

social distancing as firearm season
I have a microbiologist friend who did historical research on the 6 ft guideline. They determined the average spitting distance and then correlated that as a good number for the aerosol spread of disease.
Social distancing for firearm season? We need some fresh research.
Who writes this stuff? I want to meet this person, offering up half a dozen scoffs and a donut.
“””as firearm season gets underway”””
What a bunch of crap coming out of the media’s brains.
Is this newspeak? I can only remember that it was called “hunting season”.
This is nonsense. Let it run its course. Nothing else will do anything but drag it out.
Deer might have a coronavirus, but I’m betting it’s not SARS-CoV-2.
Even the FDA can’t find evidence of zoonotic transmission.
Every year 33 million hunters walk off into the woods

Is someone worried Bambi will get Covid?
They have to stick a swab 3 inches up your nose to “test” but spit from 5+ foot away is a problem...
Do masks protect you from CWD, (madcow disease)? Do they have a vaccine for that now? I’ve read a lot of MI deer are diseased and not fit to feed to your dog. The state game department doesn’t have anything to say about that, do they?
First put a mask on the deer ....
They could hire Thomas Binger to show how not to handle a rifle........
How do you get close enough to swab the deers nasel cavity to make sure its COVID free before you kill it?
