Battling Disease in Whitetail
On this week's episode of Hard Truths of Conservation, Dan Cabela heads to Arkansas for an immersive, hands-on look into the polarizing topic of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD).
In North America, whitetail deer are the most abundant and wide-spread deer species roaming the continent. From coast to coast and both the northern and southern border, you will find whitetail deer living in all types of habitat and terrain. However, CWD has become a concerning topic amongst state agencies, scientists, and hunters alike in recent years.
Join Dan on his mission to learn more about the pressing threat of CWD in whitetails and the fierce debate around the strategies aimed at its management.
