CHEYENNE — The Wyoming Game and Fish Department has confirmed the presence of chronic wasting disease in   deer for the first time in two new hunt areas: Deer Hunt Area 106 in the Cody Region, and Deer Hunt Area 150 in the Jackson Region.

Game and Fish confirmed the presence of CWD in a hunter-harvested adult male mule deer in Deer Hunt Area 106. The area is bordered by four CWD-positive deer hunt areas: 105 (detected in 2019), 110 (detected in 2016) and 111 (detected in 2016), as well as Yellowstone National Park (detected in 2023). Deer Hunt Area 106 is part of the Clark’s Fork mule deer herd. CWD was first detected in this herd in 2019. 

In Deer Hunt Area 150, Game and Fish found CWD in an adult, male, white-tailed deer. This area is adjacent to two CWD-positive deer hunt areas: 152 (detected in 2019), 155 (detected in 2022), as well as Grand Teton National Park. Deer Hunt Area  150 is part of the Sublette mule deer herd. CWD was first detected in this herd in 2017. 

To ensure the public is informed, Game and Fish announces when CWD is found in a new hunt area or a state-run elk feedground.

CWD is 100% fatal to infected deer, elk and moose. Continued monitoring of CWD is important to help Game and Fish understand the potential impacts of the disease and to evaluate future management actions. Hunters can assist in data collection by submitting samples for free CWD testing, especially when hunting in priority or mandatory CWD testing areas. More information on providing test samples can be found on the Game and Fish website [ [link removed] ].

A map of CWD endemic areas, along with more information, is available on the Game and Fish’s CWD webpage [ [link removed] ]. The public is asked to contact the nearest Game and Fish office if an animal appears sick or injured.
