Pam, there's no way we can afford to go to Boise from Sandpoint for this meeting. We don't want them to make a decision about killing all the deer, elk and moose because they think that they are passing on CWD. I will write to Fish and Game now about Mark's message about the manganese in the deer CRACK. You write them too. Merla
