Researchers say dogs could alert wildlife managers of infected animals faster than lab results could confirm and could help surveille an environment for chronic wasting disease.

The Wyoming Game & Fish Department recently approved a permit that allows for twice the number of deer than normal to be culled in response to rising chronic wasting disease (CWD) rates in city limits and the Black Hills region. The city has applied for a deer culling permit in previous years to reduce conflicts between residents and deer, though this wasn't related to concerns over CWD.

Permanently switching to daylight saving time could prevent 33 human deaths and 36,550 deer deaths while saving more than $1 billion annually, according to University of Washington researchers.

As Colorado's big-game rifle season approaches, state wildlife officials are ramping up monitoring of chronic wasting disease, which continues to spread in deer and elk populations around the state.

The Bighorn Basin will have a chance to give their two cents on Chronic Wasting Disease management for two deer herds in the area next week.

The crossing is designed to lessen the number of animal-vehicle collisions on a stretch of I-25 between Kaycee and Buffalo.

Chronic Wasting Disease is a deadly neurological disease that affects deer, elk, and moose. It's caused by infectious proteins known as prions and spreads from animal to animal through bodily fluids and tissues. It's been detected in much of Wyoming. And new research from the University of Wyoming has found that this widespread disease is actually changing the genetics of the state's mule deer.
