 A special chronic wasting disease 16 day deer hunt in southeastern Minnesota has concluded with only one additional case of the disease found among the hundreds of deer that were tested. Currently, landowner shooting permits take effect in an attempt to further lower the deer population in the area to stop the disease from spreading. The latest case of infected deer was an adult female taken near Preston, Minnesota near the location where four other deer tested positive. In total, 873 deer were taken during the special hunt, although 600 adults were submitted for chronic wasting disease testing. Only six deer tested positive for the disease, none were described as behaving abnormally, which may be further indication that the infection is recent.
