The other deer was harvested during the youth season in unit 3A1 in Divide County where CWD was first detected last fall.</span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #363636"><span style="font-family: 'sans-serif'"><span style="font-family: 'Calibri'"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica'">North Dakota Game and Fish Department wildlife veterinarian Dr. Charlie Bahnson said the finding in 4B marks the first detection of CWD in the badlands.</span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #363636"><span style="font-family: 'sans-serif'"><span style="font-family: 'Calibri'"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica'">“This is an iconic place to hunt big game where people travel to from across the state,” Bahnson said. “By no means does this first detection spell doom for hunting in this area, as long as we are proactive in trying to keep infection rates from climbing. We also need to reduce the chance of CWD spreading to new areas.”</span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #363636"><span style="font-family: 'sans-serif'"><span style="font-family: 'Calibri'"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica'">Game and Fish will review its CWD management strategy after the deer rifle season and will consider making revisions for next season. While unit 4B does not have carcass transportation restrictions in place for 2019, Bahnson does recommend that hunters in 4B submit their deer for testing, and avoid transporting high-risk carcass parts, such as the brain and spinal column, outside of the hunting unit.</span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #363636"><span style="font-family: 'sans-serif'"><span style="font-family: 'Calibri'"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica'"><a href="https://gf.nd.gov/wildlife/diseases/cwd" target="_blank"><span style="color: #1D5782">More information on CWD</span></a>, including transportation regulations, can be found by visiting the Game and Fish website, gf.nd.gov/cwd.</span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #363636"><span style="font-family: 'sans-serif'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #363636"><span style="font-family: 'sans-serif'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #363636"><span style="font-family: 'sans-serif'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #363636"><span style="font-family: 'sans-serif'"></span></span></p></blockquote><p></p>
