DNR Warns of Avian Flu

DNR Warns of Avian Flu

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is warning hunters to be very careful when handling wild birds this waterfowl hunting season because of the threat of avian flu. 

The flu virus first showed up in Wisconsin last March and the DNR warns that waterfowl are more susceptible to the virus than other game birds so hunters should proceed with caution.  The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service advises wearing gloves and washing hands thoroughly when done.
