(Press release) The Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (DGIF) has confirmed Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) in a male deer (buck) legally harvested in Culpeper County in November 2018.
A cooperating taxidermist submitted the sample to DGIF in late January. At the time this deer was harvested, the hunter did not notice any outward signs of disease and the buck appeared to be in good condition.
While CWD has been documented in northwest Virginia for over nine years, this deer was harvested more than 40 miles from the nearest CWD-positive deer in Frederick or Shenandoah counties. Because of the distance from other known positives, DGIF conducted an extensive forensic investigation to confirm the harvest location of this deer, resulting in a delay in releasing the information to the public.
