CWD is a global threat to the future of deer conservation and is changing the way deer are managed and how regulated hunting is conducted. MDF has been involved in CWD issues and is working in partnership with other agencies and groups to address the issue. Through our support and involvement with the CWD Alliance and the WAFWA Mule Deer Working Group, MDF is doing our part to address those issues that could drastically change the way mule deer and black-tailed deer are managed and how hunters are affected by management changes.
