CWD Response Plan Implementation and Progress Summary: 2019 1 4/28/20 α Progress Status A All counties identified will receive a message on CWD sampling and carcass movement. Columbia and Dane will have TB specific message. DNR brochure updated and distributed to staff statewide prior to 9-day gun season. Looked into billboards but will not be pursuing this at this time. Ran saturated digital ad campaign across NOD and statewide. Several videos on CWD for web and social media. News releases, email marketing, social media, and paid media will be used in CWD communication plan. CWD and carcass movement regs included on the interactive hunting season DMU map. GoWild system currently not set up to provide a message. This would be a larger change for the system. Not enough space available for a good message. Deadline RP Implementation Plan 2017-2021 I. Prevent New Introductions of CWD WDNR Implementation Step(s) Include messaging on carcass movement restrictions to the hunting license permit and carcass tag (which per new legislation is not required to be attached). Include a message that appears in GoWild when hunters register a deer. The message would talk about current carcass movement restrictions. (CWD Sponsor Team) Develop and disseminate a brochure that outlines ways hunters can reduce the spread of CWD, including carcass movement restrictions. (CWD Sponsor Team) Use statewide DNR communication formats to deliver messaging on carcass transportation restrictions. Add CWD info and carcass movement regs to interactive hunting season DMU map. Explore the cost and effectiveness of billboards and paid media (radio, web, print ad buys, etc.) for increased outreach. 2017 DEADLINE 2018 DEADLINE CWD RP Review Committee Action Item Recommendation Through outreach and enforcement of carcass transportation restrictions, the DNR will seek to prevent the movement of whole wild cervid carcasses and potentially infectious tissues from counties with CWD in wild cervids into the rest of the state.
