We can always hope... vtfishandwildlife.com >>"As of June 2004, CWD has not been found in Vermont or any of the Northeastern states or provinces. The following states and Canadian provinces had found CWD in their wild deer or elk populations: Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska, South Dakota, Utah, New Mexico, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Saskatchewan. These states and Canadian provinces had found CWD in captive herds of deer or elk: Colorado, Nebraska, South Dakota, Kansas, Oklahoma, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Montana, and Alberta. It has been thought that game farms and elk ranches were responsible for the spread of the disease. However, upon the discovery of CWD in wild white-tails in Wisconsin in 2002, scientists are re-examing biological information to detect other risk factors for spread of the disease." << wildlife.state.nh.us >>"What is the status of the CWD surveillance testing in N.H.?
