PERSONAL NORMATIVE INFLUENCES ON DEER HUNTER PARTICIPATION IN CHRONIC WASTING DISEASE (CWD) PREVENTION

open access: yes, 2022
109 pages ; White-tailed deer are an important species in New York, but chronic wasting disease (CWD) threatens the many benefits derived from white-tailed deer. CWD is a fatal prion disease within the same category of diseases as mad cow disease. New York is currently CWD-free, but the disease has been spreading throughout the United States and was ...
