THE BLACK DAY ARRIVES!
Officials announced on August 25, 2008 that the Michigan Department of Agriculture (MDA) and the Department of Natrual Resources (DNR) confirmed the first case of Chronic Wasting Disease in a 3 year old whitetail deer in a privately owned cervid facility in Kent County.
The state issued quarantine orders for all POC (Privately Owned Cervid) facilities to prohibit the movement of ALL dead or live deer, elk and moose. At this time they do not know how many animals may have contacted the disease.
The official word is that there is no evidence that CWD presents a risk to humans.
So begins a new chapter in the life of Michigans Hunters! We must stay informed in order to help minimize the damage to our precious wildlife and the help and protect the tradition of hunting.
Sincerely
Douglas Resseguie
Director of Field Operations
