Chronic Wasting Disease continues to spread in Wisconsin
Wisconsin has the highest recorded rate of Chronic Wasting Disease of any region in the world, and it only continues to spread. A journalist and avid outdoorsman joins us to talk about what that means for hunters, and what we can do to contain the disease. Also, a researcher tells us about a new study that suggests ticks could be carriers of CWD.
