Chronic Wasting Disease

We’ve all heard wildlife experts warn us about how horrible a Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) contagion would be for our nation’s population of deer, elk and other cervids.  The thought of an untreatable disease wiping out our whitetail deer and elk herds is very scary.  

But what should really scare us is when wildlife professionals resort to scare tactics, heated rhetoric, and lies to close down wildlife commerce and shut off new hunting opportunities. After years of research, the facts on CWD tell a whole different story.
