white-tailed deer in fall field in rutt
Officials are confirming the discovery of chronic wasting disease in La Crosse County.
Chronic Wasting Disease is spread directly through animal-to-animal contact and is fatal for members of the deer family.
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources says a test for the disease came back positive on a hunter-harvested adult buck.
Officials are moving to extend the current baiting and feeding ban in La Crosse County for another three years.
