Wyoming elk hunt area reveals new cases of Chronic Wasting Disease
Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) has been confirmed in Elk Hunt Area 58 in Wyoming, according to the Wyoming Game and Fish Department. The area is adjacent to two other areas where CWD has previously been detected in elk. The disease is also present in Deer Hunt Area 113, which overlaps with Elk Hunt Area 58. The Game and Fish Department advises hunters not to consume animals that are visibly sick or test positive for CWD. Continued monitoring of the disease is crucial for understanding its impact and informing future management actions.
