[QUOTE="rattler, post: 736124, member: 3430"] RALEIGH, N.C. (January 26, 2010) – The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission is warning citizens that a white-tailed deer in Virginia has tested positive for Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD). As a result, North Carolina taxidermists can no longer accept full heads for mounts from Virginia and must inform wildlife officers if they receive one. In addition, anyone bringing a deer from Virginia, or the 15 other states or two Canadian provinces where CWD has been detected, must follow North Carolina processing and packaging regulations. States where CWD has been detected include Colorado, Wyoming, South Dakota, Nebraska, Montana, Wisconsin, New Mexico, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Illinois, Utah, West Virginia, New York, Kansas, Michigan and, now, Virginia. It has also been detected in Canada’s Alberta and Saskatchewan provinces. The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission tested about 1,400 free-ranging white-tailed deer for CWD in 2009, and no CWD was found.
