National Deer Alliance Videos Answer CWD Questions, Help Prepare Hunters for Deer Season
The National Deer Alliance (NDA) created a series of videos discussing chronic wasting disease (CWD) that is available now. These videos were created to inform and educate those already hitting the blinds and stands, as well as non-hunters. CWD remains an unprecedented threat to healthy deer herds. The potential impact to deer hunting and conservation, in general, make it an essential topic for all to be aware of as summer turns to fall.
Unlike other known or more visible diseases, CWD does not kill large amounts of deer at the same time, and affected deer often don’t show signs or symptoms until death is near. These factors, in addition to other communication and non-scientific-based reasoning from a few vocal groups and individuals, can leave hunters and members of the public confused, or without a sense of urgency of what’s at stake.

Deer season has officially opened across the country. With all the effects COVID-19 has had on daily lives, many states are seeing unprecedented fishing, hunting, and outdoor recreation participation. This increase means new and life-long hunters alike will need to be informed on the latest regarding CWD.
