DNR Says Suspending Baiting and Proper Carcass Disposal Will Slow Spread of CWD

Tuesday, September 20th, 2022 -- 8:03 AM

(Raymond Neupert, WRN) The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources asks hunters and wildlife enthusiasts to help slow the spread of Chronic Wasting Disease this fall.

Placing bait to hunt deer or feeding deer for viewing is banned by state law in certain counties due to the presence of Chronic Wasting Disease. In counties where CWD has not been found, you can still choose not to bait or feed deer to help reduce the risk of CWD transmission.

Proper carcass disposal helps slow the spread of CWD by removing potentially infected deer carcasses from the landscape. Locate a designated dumpster, transfer station or landfill location accepting carcass waste near you on the DNR website.
