Management Area Established To Stop Spread Of Chronic Wasting Disease

The establishment of a tribal management area in parts of Oneida, Lincoln and Langlade counties is aimed at preventing the spread of chronic wasting disease.  Restrictions on transporting, disposing of and registering wild deer come after two had tested positive for C-W-D near tribal communities in north-central Wisconsin.  The Voigt Inter-Tribal Task Force is made up of members of tribes in Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota.  Its members designated the management area to focus the effort.
