CONCORD — Last year, a red deer from a captive facility in Quebec tested positive for chronic wasting disease. This remains the closest confirmed case of chronic wasting disease to the New Hampshire border.

It is essential that hunters do everything they can to help prevent this devastating disease from spreading to the Granite State by adhering to New Hampshire laws regarding transport of cervids (members of the deer family including moose, deer, elk, and caribou, as well as any species of captive deer) from chronic wasting disease-positive jurisdictions.
