Disease sampling results provide current snapshot of CWD in Wisconsin
MADISON
- State wildlife officials sampled more than 5,400 deer for chronic
wasting disease statewide in 2014, finding 324 positive detections,
primarily within the endemic area in southern Wisconsin.
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has monitored trends in
chronic wasting disease distribution and prevalence within Wisconsin
since its discovery in 2002. In 2014, focus was placed upon deer
population segments within locations deemed most likely to harbor the
disease.
"Long-term monitoring of disease patterns is crucial in understanding
the dynamics of this CWD, and it's also important to make sure we keep
the public informed," said Tami Ryan, DNR wildlife health section chief.
Within the Southwest Wisconsin monitoring area, encompassing
Northwestern Dane and Northeastern Iowa counties, prevalence was found
to be 25 percent for adult (2.5+ years-old) male white-tailed deer, over
10 percent for adult female deer, roughly 8 percent in yearling males,
and nearly 7 percent in yearling females.
According to Ryan, prevalence continues to increase within the
department's long-term monitoring area in Southwest Wisconsin, and
remains higher in males than females and higher in adults than
yearlings.

NEWS #1 -Largest recreational and forest land acquisition in Wisconsin history approved MADISON -
The second phase of an easement that permanently secures public
recreation on 65,867 forest acres in Douglas, Bayfield, Burnett and
Washburn counties was approved by the State Natural Resources Board at
their February meeting in Madison.
In the second phase, the Department of Natural Resources will acquire an
easement from the Lyme St. Croix Forest Company on 21,189 acres at the
price of $5,615,148. The board approved the first phase of the
transaction, consisting of 44,678 - acres at a cost of $11,260,000, in
June of 2012. The DNR applied for and received $3,750,000 in federal
Forest Legacy Program funding for the second phase of the purchase. The
remainder of the funding will come from the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship
Program.
Together the properties will be known as the Brule-St. Croix Legacy
Forest, because the property is located at the headwaters of the St.
Croix and Bois-Brule rivers in the state's northwest sands area. The
entire project contains 80 small lakes and ponds, 14 miles of streams,
and a globally significant Pine Barrens habitat.

NEWS #2 -March County Deer Advisory Council meetings will focus on antlerless harvest quota recommendations
MADISON
-- Deer population objectives in each county have been approved for a
three-year period, and County Deer Advisory Councils will meet for the
first time in 2015 beginning March 16.
CDAC meetings are open to the public, and input is encouraged as
councils form preliminary deer harvest quota recommendations for the
2015 deer season.
In 2014, each council proposed a population objective (increase,
decrease or maintain) for their county's deer herd. These population
objectives, approved by the Natural Resources Board Feb. 25, will guide
deer management decisions over the next three years.
