Delaware Hunters Seek Clarity on Vague CWD Baiting Rules
Delaware’s Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) met with hunters in Georgetown to discuss new regulations aimed at containing chronic wasting disease (CWD) after a third positive case was confirmed in a white-tailed deer. The new rules focus on restricting baiting in specific zones and require hunters to leave deer heads at designated freezers for testing. While officials emphasize prevention, many attendees reported that the current guidelines lack specific definitions, leaving key questions unanswered.
