Mandatory CWD Testing For Many Minnesota Deer Hunters

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Chronic Wasting Disease is a deadly brain disorder found in deer and elk. It was first discovered out in Colorado some 50 years ago.

CWD first made its presence known in Minnesota back in 2010 in a single deer in the southeastern part of the state. Since then, it has also been detected in 11 wild deer in other southeastern Minnesota counties, where surveillance has since been mandatory.
