Fish and Game recognizing CWD Awareness Week

| September 26, 2024 1:00 AM

Idaho Fish and Game is recognizing Chronic Wasting Disease Awareness Week, Sept. 23 to 29. The goal is to help hunters, and others who value Idaho’s wildlife, to learn and understand why managing the disease is critical to Idaho’s future, and the role hunters play in it.

Fish and Game State Wildlife Manager Rick Ward sums it up: “I think hunters should be paying attention to CWD because it affects what they love to do, which is to hunt,” Ward said. “We talk a lot about legacy, and how we’re going to manage hunting down the road, and we don’t want CWD to manage hunting for us.”
