N. WISCONSIN - The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources confirmed the first positive test result for chronic wasting disease in a wild deer in Marinette County near Peshtigo, yesterday. This will extend the three-year ban on baiting and feeding in Marinette County.  No bans have been placed in the Michigan counties that are neighboring Marinette County for now.  CWD sampling locations can be found on the Wisconsin DNR’s CWD Sampling webpage.  In Iron County there is a self-service kiosk at the Oma Town Hall on Highway 51 and at the Mercer Ranger Station.  Another in Ashland County at the DNR Service Station in Ashland and in Bayfield County at the Bayfield County Forestry Shop in Washburn.
