Even if all of the samples come back negative, Walsh said sampling for the disease will continue in the core of the CWD Management Zone.

"We'll continue to collect," Walsh said. "It could be that we collect over 200 more animals to be confident it's at a 1 percent prevalence rate."

However, Walsh was clear in stating that at this point, no one knows how many deer will be killed to determine prevalence and how widespread the disease may be.
