With the increased publicity and incidence of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD), what should an instructor tell their students?
In the Summer 2001 issue of the Journal, p. 9, Colorado Hunter Education Administrator, Patt Dorsey, shared initial guidelines for hunting in CWD areas based on the information available at that time. The following is an update of those guidelines plus web resources for the most current information. Hunters should take some special precautions if they are concerned about CWD. First, read carefully the information from the respective state or provincial wildlife agency. States and provinces are actively working to provide the most up-to-date information possible. They will provide written information, but due to the amount of on-going research, agency websites will provide the latest information. The precautions hunters should take with animals from CWD areas are common sense.
