The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks (MDWFP) will host a public meeting to discuss Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) at the West Harrison High School Gymnasium (10399 County Farm Rd, Gulfport, MS 39503), Dec. 20, 2023 at 6:00 p.m.
In late November, MDWFP received a Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) positive test result for a hunter-harvested buck from Harrison County. With this being the first CWD-positive detection for this county, MDWFP is hosting this public meeting to inform local hunters on the effects and management of this disease.
As with previous seasons, MDWFP is relying on hunter-harvested deer to monitor CWD across Mississippi. For more information about Chronic Wasting Disease visit www.mdwfp.com/cwd.
