(Twin Bridges) – A chronic wasting disease (CWD) management hunt will be held for all white-tailed deer and antlerless mule deer in a portion of Hunting District 322 in the lower Ruby Valley.
The hunt started on December 15th and will run through February 15th. Valid licenses, which will be available for purchase during the hunt, will include general deer license, 003-00 white-tailed deer B license, and 399-00 white-tailed deer B license.
The area of the hunt is known to have a high prevalence of CWD. The goals of the management hunt are to reduce the white-tailed deer population and to increase the CWD test sample size from a localized herd of mule deer to improve the accuracy of prevalence estimates.
