For hunters across Minnesota, few things are watched as closely as the health of the state's white-tailed deer herd.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has confirmed a case of chronic wasting disease in a wild deer near Stillwater.
What CWD Is And Why It MattersChronic wasting disease is a fatal, contagious condition that affects deer, moose and elk.
The DNR says the detection sits in deer permit area 236, roughly 30 miles from the nearest previously confirmed cases in both Minnesota and western Wisconsin.
