An advisory committee is recommending a statewide ban on baiting and feeding to keep CWD from spreading.
Every five years, the DNR reviews its 15-year Chronic Wasting Disease Plan.
Members of the DNR say if a state-wide baiting ban is put into place, fewer wild deer will congregate in one spot, reducing their chances of spreading the disease.

The revisions will be shared with the Natural Resources Board on March 1st.
