For most hunters, chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a minor concern that raises red flags about the health of animals and game meat. Now, you can find out where CWD is across North America.

While no cases have been confirmed in humans, it’s still a spooky disease that’s fatal to deer and elk and spans much of North America. Today, onX released a new layer to its hunt-oriented mapping systems that shows exactly where CWD has been found.
Quality Deer Management Association (QDMA) teamed up with onX to help make this information mapping possible. CWD has been prevalent in the whitetail deer species, and the QDMA has worked hard since 1988 to manage healthy whitetail habitat and populations.
The organization tracks the spread and collects data with their member-volunteers, corporate sponsors, and other advocates.

It’s 100 percent fatal for the species that contract the disease. For this reason, CWD piques QDMA’s interest.
