New Baiting & Feeding Ban in Effect



The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources received notification from the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture that a farm-raised deer in Taylor County tested positive for Chronic Wasting Disease.

This means Taylor County is now considered a CWD-affected county.

State law requires that the DNR enact a ban on feeding and baiting deer in counties when a farm-raised or free-roaming domestic or wild animal that tests positive for CWD or tuberculosis in the county where detected and any other counties within a 10-mile radius of the positive animal's known location.

As a result, a three-year baiting and feeding ban in Taylor County has taken effect.
