A baiting and feeding ban will go into effect in Lincoln County on Monday.
The Wisconsin DNR says it’s confirmed a deer on a deer farm in the county has tested positive for Chronic Wasting Disease.
State law requires that the DNR enact a ban on feeding and baiting of deer in counties or portions of counties within a 10-mile radius of a farm-raised or free-roaming deer that tests positive for CWD.
The ban will be in place for three years.
The DNR is urging hunters that have harvested deer within a 10 miles radius of the farm to get it tested for CWD.
That’s mostly the area between Merrill and Tomahawk.
There are baiting and feeding bans in 55 counties in Wisconsin.
