Dr. Krysten Schuler — wildlife disease ecologist at the Cornell Wildlife Health Lab — joins us for a briefing on Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD), a highly contagious prion disease that affects deer species. We learn some facts that may surprise you about prions, best processing practices for deer hunters in CWD-affected areas, and Krysten's thoughts on the future of deer hunting in the US. We also get into Krysten's research on lead ammunitions' impacts on wildlife and how she and other researchers are working to get more hunters to make the switch to non-toxic ammo.
