## Resource

This week, we’re discussing Chronic Wasting Disease, game farms and how lack of common sense laws could worsen the spread throughout the United States. We also touch on some new research from Wyoming indicates that deer covering longer migration distances accumulate more body fat by following the green wave of forage. Proposed legislation in Idaho would shift the appointment of state agency directors, including Fish and Game, to the governor. The House Agricultural Committee is advancing a new version of the Farm Bill containing key conservation and public access programs. Check out TRCPs breakdown here. https://www.trcp.org/2026/03/05/new-farm-bill-advances-in-house-committee-key-impacts-for-hunters-and-anglers/ Private timber land sales in the Elochoman River valley are resulting in locked gates and reduced hunting opportunities.
