Minnesota DNR adds five counties to deer feeding and attractant ban

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has added five counties to a deer feeding and attractant ban to reduce the risk of chronic wasting disease spread, following detections of CWD in wild deer in new areas of the state last year.
“Where people place food or attractants out for deer, higher numbers of deer tend to congregate in one place,” said Paul Burr, acting big game program leader.

While Teal Lake sits in Wisconsin’s famous-for-fishing Sawyer County, the lake sits a solid 25 miles east of Hayward, Sawyer County’s fishing epicenter.
