Ep. 265 Chronic Wasting Disease in Georgia with Lindsay Thomas Jr.

This week we’re talking about another blow to the whitetail deer hunting community, Chronic wasting disease has been found in Georgia making it the 36th state to have a positive case. Chronic wasting disease or CWD as it is commonly referred to as is a fatal neurological disease that affects the brain and nervous system of cervids like deer, elk and moose. Is this cause for alarm? Sort of, the best thing we can do as hunters and stewards of the land is continue to hunt and practice good herd management and work with our local and state agencies to help keep the prevalence of CWD low. The good news is this isn’t the end the hunting, not by a long shot but it can change the landscape depending on how your state chooses to manage it. Now Georgia has taken a good look at what other states have done to keep prevalence low and they’re implementing those best practices. We’ll get into that and more in this episode with Lindsay Thomas Jr. of the National Deer Association.
