Madison, Wis. – The Wisconsin (DNR) Department of Natural Resources confirmed the first positive result of the test for chronic devastating disease (CWD) in the wild jelen in Chippewa.
Jeleń was obliged to the hunter of 1-year-old Buck, who was collected at a distance of 10 miles from the borders of Barron and Dunn.
This detection will result in the following:
- Chippewa’s unit will renew a 3-year ban on lures and feeding on site.
- The Barron’s County will renew a 2-year ban on lures and feeding on site.
- Dunn’s county currently has a 3-year ban on baits and nutrition for positive detection in the county, so this detection will not affect Dunn.

The Council of DNR and the County Deer Advisory Council organize a public meeting on February 6, 2025, at 18:30 at the meeting, DNR employees will provide information about CWD in Wisconsin and local tests in Chippewa.
CWD is a deadly, infectious disease of deer, elk, elk and reindeer/karybu nervous system. It belongs to the family of diseases known as transmitted spongy encephalopathies (TSES) or prion diseases. DNR began monitoring the wild deer population in white white for CWD in 1999. The first positives were found in 2002.
State law requires DNR to introduce a three -year ban on the bait and nutrition in poviats in which CWD was detected, as well as a two -year ban in neighboring poviats at a distance of 10 miles from the detection of CWD. If additional CWD cases are found during the ban on baits and feeding, the ban will renew for an additional two or three years.
Decabling or feeding encourages them to unnaturally accumulate around a common source of food, in which infected deer can spread CWD through direct contact with well deer or indirectly, leaving infectious prions in their saliva, blood, drop and urine.
More information on the regulations on lures and feeding is available on the DNR Website of lures and feeding.
More general information about CWD can be found on DNR CWD website.
