MD. D.N.R. EXPANDS DEER CHRONIC WASTING DISEASE MANAGEMENT AREA

The Maryland Department of Natural Resources has added two more counties to the deer chronic wasting disease management area. Fifty-two white-tailed deer tested positive for the neurological disease during the last survey and 49 came from the existing management area which includes Allegany, Baltimore, Frederick, Montgomery and Washington counties. One positive sample came from Baltimore County and two positive samples came from Montgomery County. Hunters and wildlife enthusiasts can help by reporting any deer that are emaciated, unhealthy, or acting abnormally.
