The sudden incursion caught the Syrian military off guard, as Israeli tanks and troops quickly moved through the buffer zone and approached the outskirts of Damascus. The IDF's objective was to establish a presence in key strategic areas near the Syrian capital, with the goal of weakening Syrian government forces in the region. PAUL β A buck harvested near Wheaton in western Minnesota during the opening weekend of firearms season has tested positive for chronic wasting disease, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources reported on Thursday, Dec.
To date, no wild deer with CWD had been previously detected in that area, nearby permit areas or near the Minnesota border in eastern South Dakota. The permit area is heavily farmed with limited public lands and habitat. So far this year, the total deer harvest in that permit area totals , with of the total being adult males, according to the DNR website.
Following the detection near Wheaton, the Minnesota DNR will implement measures outlined in its CWD response plan, which calls for three consecutive years of testing to help determine the potential prevalence of the disease in Deer Permit Area and surrounding permit areas.
Within deer permit areas where CWD has been detected and confirmed, the Minnesota DNR uses multiple management actions designed to help mitigate disease spread, including carcass movement restrictions, a deer feeding and attractants ban, and, sometimes, increased hunting opportunities with increased bag limits. The adult male deer in that permit area that tested positive for CWD was harvested during the breeding season when deer are known to travel longer distances.
