DNR: Not Enough Deer Killed, CWD Continues

Not Making A Difference In CWD Yet

Updated: 9:32 am CST November 6, 2006

The hunting countdown clock is ticking.

There is only two weeks until the start of the state's gun deer season and there is already discouraging news about the fight to stamp out chronic wasting disease (CWD), according to state officials.

The state Department of Natural Resources has said that not enough deer have been killed in the state's CWD Eradication Zones, WISC-TV reported.

Officials said that the deer population stands at 1.6 million, not much different than what is was five years ago when the CWD management program began. That program has cost the state $26 million in that time.

Despite several incentive programs, the DNR reports hunters aren't killing enough deer to reduce herd.

Some hunters said that is because they only kill what they need.

The gun-deer hunting season starts statewide on Saturday, Nov. 18, WISC-TV reported.
