Its here..! Chronic wasting disease has been identified from a deer that was taken in eastern Utah last season. It was near the Vernal area, right where I plan on going after Elk this year. Does this disease effect Elk as well?

Yes, elk are subject.

Take a look at http://www.cwd-info.org/ for more info. HTH, Dutch.

Thanks Dutch! Excellent link on the subject.

there killing off 3000 deer in one area here in saskathcewan. free tags who want them. from what i here there was 3 or 4 deer taken last season that had CWD. its a shame that it happens but that what happens with when wild animals are domesticated.
