Chronic Wasting Disease Confirmed in Kansas
January 24, 2006
If you follow the yellow brick road to Kansas, you may not find the dreamlike place many thought when it comes to hunting deer. Suspicions were confirmed when tests conducted on a doe shot and killed in the northwest portion of the state this fall, tested positive for CWD.
The disease had been diagnosed in Colorado within a few miles of the Colorado-Kansas state border and wildlife officials believed it would be only a matter of time and they were right.
This is the first known case in that state found in wild deer.

Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks biologists will sample additional deer in Cheyenne County to help determine whether the disease exists in other deer in the vicinity, a strategy outlined in a contingency plan the department first developed in 2003 after CWD expanded in Colorado, Wyoming, and Nebraska. CWD has been documented in ten states. The department also is planning to conduct a public meeting in St. Francis to provide more information on CWD and strategies to minimize the potential for spread of the disease.

The Recreational Trails Program (RTP) was first authorized by the U.S. Congress in the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 and was reauthorized in 1998 under the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21). The program provides funds for the States to develop and maintain recreational trails and trail-related facilities for both non-motorized and motorized recreational trail uses. The Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks administers the program in Kansas and FY 2003 funding amounted to $826,747.00. Within Kansas, funding is being utilized for trail development, program administration and educational activities.
