JACKSON, Tenn.– The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency put together a public meeting after discovering 11 more deer with Chronic Wasting Disease in Fayette and Hardeman counties.

TWRA spokesperson Amy Spencer said they will explain their results in the meeting, scheduled for 7 p.m. Tuesday at Bolivar Middle School.

“It is a short presentation with updates and some planned monitoring activities in the CWD zone,” Spencer said.
