Hey Speckle
Thanks for your response , and I can't believe I'm not getting more answers from the experts on this issue...... just alot of " We have bought into the idea"......... I'm trying to stir some response but not getting it , just links that I can't find the data .... I see a nice alberta map showing an increase in number of cases , atleast thats how I'm interpreting it.... n= x , But what's missing is the number of heads submitted from one year to the next , which I'm pretty sure is increasing and one would think it would correspond with an increase in cases found.... I don't think a few random heads submitted from the peace country is a very good indicator jmho, they killed hundreds of mule deer and whitetail deer in 234 with no traces of the disease, .... I'll keep digging and if I get to frustrated I'm gonna phone the phone number you provided.... Thanks
