The dangerous disease has been found in a hunt area northwest of Cody, an unfortunate but not unexpected development given its spread across the Bighorn Basin.
The Wyoming Department of Game and Fish has confirmed that chronic wasting disease is present in yet another Bighorn Basin region – Hunt Area 109, northwest of Cody.
Deer Hunt Area 109 runs from Cody along WY Highway 120 ending a few miles southeast of Clark. Its boundaries include Rattlesnake Mountain, Pat O’Hara Mountain, and Creek, and the portion of the Chief Joseph Highway leading up to Dead Indian Hill and the Clarks Fork Canyon.
