Staff Report

CWD confirmed in a wild deer near Stillwater, Minn.

Featured, Home Page News, Hunting, Minnesota, National Hunting, National News, News /

The Minnesota DNR announced on Tuesday that a deer near Stillwater has been confirmed positive for chronic wasting disease.

The female deer was reported to the DNR by a landowner who observed it for several days and noted it was unafraid of people and appeared emaciated. The deer died on July 16 and was retrieved by DNR staff. It was brought to the University of Minnesota’s Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory for a necropsy and CWD testing. The DNR received confirmation of the disease earlier this week.

Largemouths, bluegills the main attraction at Big Sand Lake in Wisconsin’s Burnett County

Lake Profile, Lake Profile, Wisconsin /

The Burnett County fisheries team ran a quick survey on Big Sand Lake, between Siren and Spooner, in 2022 to again index the lake’s fishery.
The team did not set fyke nets for this survey, instead relying on an early spring electrofishing survey shortly after ice-out in late April. A late spring electrofishing survey was done one night in early June to assess largemouth bass and panfish populations, but walleyes were also collected.

The proposals became regulation in June and are in place for the forthcoming white-tailed deer hunting seasons. Recently, DEC Game Management Section Head Jeremy Hurst distributed an email to those who submitted comments where he took the opportunity to explain how hunters will be responsible to clarify that they have actually taken an antlerless deer to earn a second buck tag.
