🤢 Wisconsin DNR Reports Over 2,000 CWD-Positive Deer from 2025 Hunting Season Sampling. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources released a summary of chronic wasting disease monitoring from the 2025 deer hunting seasons, revealing over 2,000 positive cases out of the 17,759 deer sampled statewide. This represents a notable detection rate, with about 87% of the positives occurring in the Southern Farmland Zone, where the disease remains most prevalent. Testing was available statewide through 242 locations, including 163 self-sampling kiosks and 46 staffed sites.
“CWD remains a complex issue with no single solution for managing the disease,” said Erin Larson, DNR deer herd health specialist in a statement. “However, the department remains committed to continuing CWD efforts, including providing services to hunters and creating partnerships with the people of Wisconsin to work towards the common goal of a healthy deer herd and outstanding hunting opportunities in our state.”
