  • Episode 129 - Drill Down on CWD
    Dec 4 2025

    If you think facts are better than fiction on the topic of CWD you need to listen to this episode. We talked to Dr. Krysten Schuler, a Wildlife Disease Ecologist with Cornell University's College of Veterinary Medicine, about CWD. Dr. Schuler is the foremost expert on CWD, having studied the disease since 2002, her entire career. She's presented expert testimony on CWD to the U.S. House Committee on Natural Resources where she explained that ""Chronic wasting disease is the most serious threat facing wild deer and elk populations in North America today." The best part…she's an avid hunter and we regrettably pulled her out of her tree stand to record this episode. This stuff is important to her. If anyone cares equally about deer, hunting and the impact of CWD; Dr. Schuler is that person. Have a listen, this is good stuff to know.
