flag CWD is spreading fast in Montana, infecting 58% of some deer and 12% of elk, prompting expanded monitoring and hunting efforts to prevent ecological harm.

flag Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is spreading rapidly in Montana, with infection rates reaching 58% in some deer populations and 12% in elk, according to wildlife officials. flag Though no population declines have been confirmed, experts warn of potential long-term impacts if the disease continues unchecked. flag Hunters are key to monitoring efforts through voluntary testing, and officials are expanding surveillance, promoting safe carcass disposal, and increasing hunting opportunities in affected areas. flag CWD, which has caused population drops in Wyoming and Colorado, remains unproven to infect humans but is highly contagious and persistent in the environment. flag Proactive management is seen as critical to preventing ecological and economic harm.
