THIS EPISODE IS NOT MEANT TO SCARE YOU. If it does, that is OK because it scares us a bit. CWD is real, it is actively effecting deer populations, and it is spreading. 
After a few recent studies with mixed results on the transfer of CWD to primates were publicized, we knew we needed to talk to Nick Pinizzato, President and CEO of The National Deer Alliance. Nick is well informed on all matters Whitetail and gives us the straight shot of info we were looking for (and a FIRE YOU UP call to action!)
