Show Notes

Avian flu is a naturally occurring disease but can cause near 100% mortality in backyard birds and commercial poultry. Wild, free-ranging waterfowl are one of the primary means by which the avian flu virus can spread across long distances. Dr. Julie Lenoch, USDA Wildlife Services, shares guidance to hunters on how we can help reduce the spread into backyard flocks and commercial facilities through proper handling of harvested waterfowl and responsible cleaning of gear.
