As the 88th session of the Texas Legislature is winding down, we are pleased to announce the passage of SB 1372!
This bill only effects CWD positive facilities, and it transfers the burden of the cost of depopulations from the deer breeder to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. To learn more about SB 1372, head to the link in bio.

Even with all the hype out there that it’s under control, CWD keeps popping up in new places. Why is that? Why hasn’t it ever been eradicated in an area once it appears? Could there possibly be some deer that are simply not as susceptible to CWD?
