Comment on TPWD Comprehensive CWD Management rule proposals before May 26

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission has posted its Comprehensive Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) Management rule proposals on the web and is accepting comments until May 26. CWD is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder that affects some cervid species, including white-tailed deer, mule deer, elk, red deer, sika, and their hybrids.
