Smith to visit with Dr. Jenn Ballard (State Wildlife Veterinarian) and AJ Riggs (Wildlife Health Biologist) of Arkansas Game & Fish to discuss the spread and prevention of disease on the region's wildlife. Though not an official part 2 of our C.W.D. conversation with Wes Wright (Ep. 75), we did venture into discussions about WHY the disease is so hard to manage and WHAT can be done to prevent its spread in the future.
