JACKSON, Wyo. — The Wyoming Game and Fish Department will again collect tissue samples from deer and elk this fall to test for chronic wasting disease.
The effort will be especially intensive in the Jackson Hole area.
Some fear that the inevitable arrival of the disease at state feed grounds in northwest Wyoming and the National Elk Refuge will spell trouble for wildlife.
Chronic wasting disease is a fatal neurological disorder that has been diagnosed in deer, elk and moose in 11 states and two Canadian provinces.
