Today, you can look up just about anything on the internet and find almost anything about everything. The problem is that this cyclone of information that is thrown at you on a daily basis, may not even be true. Many people take to the internet hoping to find the most up to date information on a topic and sometimes get sucked into this web of rants, lies and misinformation. As sportsmen and women we have to do better, we must do better. Issues like CWD have taken over Facebook groups and forums, where people are leaving comments with information that they believe to be true. Unfortunately, many people do not have all the facts. Being an active member of the outdoor community, attending events like the one below, allows us as hunters, anglers and outdoors men and women, to be the voice for the outdoors, to stand up and discuss our opinions and concerns related to various topics including CWD.
Below you'll see some opportunities to learn more about CWD and the concern the Illinois Department of Natural Resources and other agencies have. We will be attending this event and we hope to see many of you there.
