It would appear to be from hunting

The North Carolina game seasons are here:

About the only game in season is deer with bow & arrow.

This is true, Slick.

As I posted on another thread, there have only been 18 cases of inhalational anthrax reported in the United States since 1900. Also, epidemiological clues to a biological weapon attack:

Unusual geographical area of occurrence, vector-borne disease in an area without these vectors, epidemic simultaneously, more morbidity and mortality than expected, decreased rates in protected personnel

Until the second clue appears, it is only speculation.

Still, for those who say you can't spread airborne anthrax, I remind you that the spore of the bacterium is stable especially in aerosol form. The insidious nature of spread and resulting confusion is appealing to terrorists. The US Secretary of Defense, William Cohen, once raised a 5 lb bag of sugar on television to demonstrate the amount of anthrax spores that could kill 50% of Washington's population.
