Urgent: Please submit samples for CWD testing
Hunters, please drop off the head of deer 1 year or older for CWD testing, if available where you hunt. Testing is crucial to managing this always-fatal disease and we need you to participate.
It’s as easy as attaching a filled-out tag to the ear of your harvested deer’s head and putting it into the provided barrel. If you have a deer head from harvest this weekend, you can still bring it in for sampling. Find your sampling location on the CWD webpage.
There are also options to provide a sample even if you want to keep your deer’s antlers or have the deer mounted.
Here’s a video on how to prep for sampling, and full information is available on the DNR website.
Every sample counts and gives us information about where disease is. Thank you for helping keep our wild deer healthy!
