Whether you hunt deer and or just enjoy watching them, you should be aware of a disease known among wildlife professionals by the abbreviation CWD. They stand for chronic wasting disease, a deadly and contagious neurological disorder that can destroy populations of deer, elk, and other animals classified as members of the deer family known as cervids. In Tennessee, deer and elk are the wildlife we trying to protect from this disease. Joining us today on Tennessee WildCast is our new Wildlife Veterinarian, Daniel Grove and Special Assistant to the Director, Greg Wathen. We will learn about the disease, why we don’t want it and what happens if we get it.
