Thursday, August 21, 2025 • Duration 01:13:24

For More information on Dream Genomics, visit: www.dreamgx.com

In this episode of The Watering Hole, the crew sits down with Dr. Gary Pusateri to talk about a groundbreaking approach to tackling Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) in deer. From his bowhunting roots in Buffalo County to his work in human medicine and gene expression diagnostics, Gary shares how his team is developing a simple blood test—and even a Covid-style field kit—that could change the future of wildlife management and deer hunting.

We dive into the science behind it, the challenges with current testing, how deer farmers and hunters could benefit, and what this means for the future of whitetails. Along the way, the conversation covers hunting traditions, land management, and the bigger picture of keeping deer herds healthy for generations to come.
