A free-ranging, white-tailed deer captured in San Antonio has tested positive for Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD). The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department will establish disease containment measures in the area and propose a surveillance zone using easily discernable boundaries in addition to a containment zone. Hunters who harvest a CWD-susceptible species in a zone are required to bring their animals to a TPWD check station within 48 hours of harvest. CWD affects members of the deer family including white-tailed deer, mule deer, and elk.
