Chronic wasting disease a growing threat for New York

Chronic Wasting Disease hasn’t been seen in New York State since 2005 but it has the potential of changing deer hunting forever. This always fatal disease, for which there is no cure, threatens white-tailed deer, moose, and elk.
CWD was discovered in Oneida County 18 years ago, and thanks to an intensive and comprehensive testing and culling program, the DEC and NYS Department of Agriculture managed to eliminate it. CWD has been found in 29 states but, so far, New York is the only state to have eliminated it. However, that isn’t the case with our neighbor to the south.
