(North Dakota) Official: Bird flu threat will not change hunting
The head of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service says there's no reason to modify upcoming bird-hunting seasons because of the threat of bird flu.
But Dale Hall says it's important to educate hunters on proper sanitary techniques.
He says that includes wearing rubber gloves when cleaning birds, and cooking the meat thoroughly.
Fish and Wildlife is monitoring birds in Alaska and will shift its monitoring efforts to the Pacific Flyway when waterfowl season opens.
