The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has issued an emergency rule that temporarily prohibits the importation and movement of farmed white-tailed deer into and within Minnesota.
This emergency action takes effect today (Monday) and aims to reduce further spread of chronic wasting disease and protect Minnesota’s wild deer population.
The DNR made the move after a CWD-positive farm in Wisconsin shipped 387 farmed white-tailed deer to farms in seven states – including Minnesota. Three farms in Minnesota ultimately received a total of five deer from the infected farm.
The rule provides exemptions for deer being transported to slaughter and those being transported on a direct route through the state.
