First Case of CWD Confirmed in Yellowstone National Park (https://www.outdoorlife.com/conservation/chronic-wasting-disease-first-case-yellowstone/)
An adult mule deer buck is Yellowstone National Park’s first chronic wasting disease victim, officials announced on Tuesday in a press release. The buck had been fitted with a GPS collar in March 2023 as part of a population dynamics study by the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, and its collar emitted a mortality signal in mid-October. Results from multiple diagnostic tests have confirmed that CWD was the cause of death.
Not good. :cry:
