hunters to be familiar with Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) regulations this
year. Pennsylvania has been added to the list of CWD states. Hunters may not bring back unprocessed deer or
deer heads from any CWD state into New York.
For more information about CWD, please visit DEC’s website at http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/8325.html . 2:00 PM Watchable Wildlife: White-Tailed Deer http://www.dec.ny.gov/education/1835.html Contact 5Rivers@gw.dec.state.ny.us Mid-November is an excellent time to “scout” for deer. Deer are very active during this season, and their tracks, trails, pellets, rubs, scrapes and beds are all good indicators of the season’s prospects. Join us for a field study of the natural history of deer and learn what’s what.
