WYOMING Game and Fish finds CWD in new deer hunt area 17 near Gillette
12/19/2016 4:10:33 PM
Cheyenne - The Wyoming Game and Fish Department confirmed chronic
wasting disease (CWD) in Deer Hunt Area 17 northwest of Gillette. The buck mule
deer was reported by a landowner who had concerns that it did not seem healthy.
A Game and Fish biologist euthanized the animal. This is the first time CWD has
been found in Deer Hunt Area 17, which is bordered on the east and west by deer
hunt areas where CWD has been found as early as 2007.
The Wyoming Game and Fish Commission approved an updated CWD
Management Plan in April. The Game and Fish is implementing that plan, which
includes increasing monitoring for the disease.
“If you see a deer, elk or moose that appears to be sick or not acting
in a normal manner, please contact your local game warden, wildlife biologist
or Game and Fish office immediately,” said Scott Edberg, deputy chief of the
wildlife division. Game and Fish personnel have collected and analyzed more
than 2,900 CWD samples statewide so far in 2016. Game and Fish also reminds
hunters they play a significant role in monitoring the distribution of this
disease and provide valuable information for managing CWD.
This is the ninth new deer hunt area found with CWD in 2016. There are
specific regulations related to transportation of deer, elk and moose harvested
in hunt areas where CWD is known to exist. Please visit the Game and Fish
website for more information on chronic wasting disease transmission and
regulations on transportation and disposal of carcasses. The Centers for
Disease Control and the World Health Organization recommend that people should
not eat deer, elk or moose that test positive for CWD. (Wyoming Game and Fish
