Update: What hunters should know with CWD discovery in whitetail at Herkimer County facility in New York

Editor’s Note: The recent discovery of CWD is in Herkimer County, not Jefferson County as previously reported. 
For the first time since 2005, chronic wasting disease has been discovered in New York, this time in a deer at an unnamed private facility in Herkimer County, in upstate New York. 
At press time, the incident was still considered isolated. While not detected in wild deer in the area, state officials are taking measures to test local wild deer herds for the debilitating disease that is fatal to white-tailed deer, and are prepared for more extreme measures should they be deemed warranted.
