California To Ban Lead Bullets?

Wisconsin Still Fighting Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD)

Wisconsin deer hunters still must worry about chronic wasting disease (CWD) this year when they get out to go deer hunting.

Judging by the numbers that the Wisconsin DNR is putting up on their website, the number of deer sample who had CWD has stayed about the same as last year. In 2006 about 30,000 deer were sampled and of those, 205 were positive.  As of July 20th, 2007, 856 deer sample were tested positive, however this sampling was around 130 thousand.
