Among the restrictions now covered by regulation is the prohibition on importing into Pennsylvania any high-risk parts from deer, elk, moose or other cervids harvested within states or Canadian provinces where CWD is present.

In 2005, CWD was found in captive and wild white-tailed deer in Oneida County. After intensive disease response efforts, no subsequent cases have been detected.

Five-year study one of the largest in the nation; researchers’ goal is to collar 100 deer per year.

Annually, the DNR tests thousands of white-tailed deer for bovine TB statewide. Due to this new steer finding, hunters within the 3-mile radius of this facility will be asked to voluntarily submit their deer heads

Perhaps a Wisconsin County Deer Advisory Council meeting will provide some clarity into how other states take initiative to include public insight into the policy-making process of any given deer season.

Agency looking to capture 500 deer over five years in two study areas; predators also being collared.

Poacher chased the deer about 9 miles. The deer antlers green score exceeded 200 inches.

Previous effort failed, but he’s bringing proposal back on short public notice.
