Abstract:

Chronic wasting disease is an untreatable, incurable neurological disease of deer, elk, and related animals. There are no cases of CWD in North Carolina at present. Pipkin discusses what this disease could mean to the state's $600 million hunting economy and new rules from the North Carolina Wildlife Commission to help prevent the introduction of the disease into North Carolina.
