The Department of Natural Resources has confirmed a fourth case of chronic wasting disease in a southern Michigan deer.
According to the DNR, a hunter from Clinton County’s Dewitt Township brought in the year-and-a-half-old buck last month.
Tests have since confirmed the deer had the neurological disease.
Three other infected free-ranging deer in Ingham County had tested positive for CWD earlier this year.
The DNR has designated a core chronic wasting disease area consisting of nine townships in Ingham, Clinton and Shiawassee counties.
Hunters that kill deer in that area have to have it tested.
