Nipmuc Rod and Gun Sign

Last night at our monthly members meeting a discussion was had about putting up a sign out in front of our clubhouse so that current events could be viewed by passing traffic. We need to submit a proposal to the town of Upton for approval. It was decided that a committee would be formed to work on this specific project to see it through. If anyone would like to submit any ideas we would like to hear from you!

Chronic Wasting Disease in a captive white-tailed deer

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has identified the presence of Chronic Wasting Disease in a captive white-tailed deer in Oneida County. The test confirmed by the National Veterinary Services Lab in Oneida County. All animals in the captive herd will be tested. Samples from 3457 wild white-tailed deer have tested negative for CWD including 40 from the county where positive deer was found. New York has 433 deer farms raising 9600 deer and elk. There are and estimated 1 million white-tailed deer in the wild in New York. Deer hunters are reminded to check laws and regulations in all states where they hunt for the latest on CWD and any changes on transport of deer carcasses, venison, heads and capes.
