DNREC Adopts Emergency Deer Hunting Regulations

With the initial discovery of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) in Delaware confirmed earlier this year, and the start of deer hunting season less than a month away, the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control has adopted emergency regulations to try to limit the spread of CWD and confine it to the area where it was found.

The initial identification triggered activation of the state’s CWD plan, with one of the first steps to conduct widespread sampling in the area where the initial cases were found. In July, DNREC worked with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection (APHIS) Wildlife Services and local landowners to collect and test additional deer to better understand the distribution and prevalence of CWD in the area. APHIS focused cluster sampling of 100 deer adjacent to the two initial CWD findings did not turn up any more cases of the disease.

Why Branded Counter Mats Turn Retail Countertops Into Ad Space

Retail counters command attention during browsing, payment, collection, and customer service. That surface does more than hold products or equipment. It gives stores a compact place to present offers, reinforce identity, and guide decisions. Branded counter mats work within existing layouts, so businesses gain promotional visibility without sacrificing floor area. Their position suits boutiques, salons, cafés, pharmacies, and service desks. Each transaction creates a brief but valuable opportunity for clear, relevant communication.

A Small Surface With Strong Reach

Countertop messages appear during moments when shoppers naturally slow down. Customers wait for receipts, packaging, questions, or payment approval, giving them time to notice nearby information. Personalized counter advertising mats for your business place a logo, offer, product detail, or service reminder within that immediate viewing area. Wall graphics may attract attention from a distance, while a counter mat supports quick reading up close. Its location keeps the message visible without interrupting movement through the store.
