If I don't get it before then I see no reason not to go.
Will the Corona Virus impact your hunting plans next fall?

I'm worried more about traffic.
Bird Flu, H1N1, HFMD, Sars, Hantavirus, Zika, Ebola, E.coli, HIV, HPV, CWD, Computer and a bunch of other crap hasn't stopped me yet.
I'm not going to sit around hoarding TP. I'm going hunting.

It's application time, and I'm applying like any other
Right now it's about anticipation, and it's tough to calculate the real risk in a particular demographic.

I we only had a crystal ball. Talk about a unknown at this point. I would say no for me but I'm not flying anywhere either at this point unless I draw a Maine Moose tag.

This thing isn't even close to the yearly flu. 34 million infected with 20,000 dead last year. We have what, 550 confirmed cases and 100 unconfirmed. This is a total media blowout.

I read this am that new cases of it are falling off in China and South Korea. The US has always overall handled these things better than most countries. The problem here has always been the need to travel. Plus pressure to go to work, also 2 parents working so sick kids get ushered off to daycare or schools because one would need to stay home to care for them.
Mass hysteria of this kind of crap in this country gets worse every occasion. I hope I am right and this will be under control in less than 2 months. Media makes it worse than it is, media strangles this country with "what ifs".
The one continent that will struggle with this virus is Africa as always.

Not at all taking a trip to Colorado in a few months Not a hunting trip but A trip none the less if I were you I would hold off on any decisions and see the status of the virus closer to your hunt things can change very quickly for the better or worse

Getting up in age or already there so at this point I can't miss any opportunities. So, no it will not stop me.

AS I sit here wringing my hands watching cable horror shows called news networks and guarding my TP, I still plan on going since elk haven't shown signs of it yet. I am hoping all the measures will halt the flu though.

in the current situation I won't be taking any transport where I am in an enclosed space with the public. I would have no issue driving to a hunt though. I also think it's likely to be less of an issue once we get to next fall, don't have a crystal ball though.
(Un) luckily I don't really have to worry about pulling a far away tag this year so I don't have to do much considering on it.
I think some people are blowing this out of proportion and others are way underestimating this.
Wash your hands, keep your hands out of your face, sneeze/cough into a tissue or your armpit and limit your contact with large groups. It isn't that difficult to take simple measures that will seriously inhibit this problems progress. So far this is not a large issue, we can do little things to make it so it stays that way. Luckily I don't really do large traffic activities to begin with

I'd like to say that if you don't do the moose hunt in Maine, I'd be very happy to take that one off of your hands. Also presently there are no known, reported cases of the chrony virus
in Maine. I'm 73 with some underlying health issues. I am taking precautions, but not going overboard with it. We just flew back from Florida, live in Rhode Island, was a little concerned/mindful about catching something, but always concerned about catching a cold from flying. We try to stay out of crowds, don't go to the movies, wash our hands more frequently and keep our hands away from our faces, but that pretty much sums up our precautions at this time. If I were hunting in large crowds I think I would be concerned, but......I don't think that this will be the case on an elk hunt; although on public land that might be the case. Good luck on your hunts.

My plans are still on for my month in west Texas, as long as the animals don't have a problem with it, I drive so traffic is my only worry.
