GLEN ETIVE, SCOTLAND - NOVEMBER 16: Scottish red deer graze in Glen Etive following the end of the rutting season on Novemebr 16, 2016 in Glen Etive, Scotland. The rutting season sees the large dominant red deer stags compete against each other for mating rights and can be heard roaring and bellowing in an attempt to attract the hinds. The rut draws to a close in early November when the stags spend the winter feeding to regain strength for the following season.

Author Angie Krueger
It’s been dubbed the ‘zombie deer disease’ and it continues to spread across the country.
.
Chronic Wasting Disease, or CWD for short, has now been confirmed in 24 states, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
.
The disease, similar to ‘mad cow disease,’ affects the brains and spinal cords of deer, elk, and moose.
.
Symptoms include coordination loss, aggression, diminished fear of humans, stumbling, drooling, weight-loss, and more.
.
So far, there have been no human cases of CWD; however, wildlife officials say hunters should strongly consider testing any animal harvested in an area known to have CWD before consuming any of its meat.
