What hunters should know after CWD is discovered in wild western Minnesota deer for the first time
Published: , in Outdoor News
The Minnesota DNR announced late last week that chronic wasting disease had been confirmed in a wild whitetail buck harvested by a Wheaton-area firearms hunter during that season’s opening weekend.
It’s the first time the always-fatal disease has been confirmed in that part of the state. According to a Dec. 12 DNR news release, the buck was shot in Deer Permit Area 271. It’s the latest in findings in past years outside the state’s CWD core in southeastern Minnesota or CWD Zone 605 in the south-metro area.
