Hunters play a critical role in monitoring CWD throughout the state, and there are many opportunities to get your harvested deer sampled. Hunters who harvest deer from CWD Management Zone counties are reminded that they must follow carcass transportation restrictions when traveling to CWD sampling stations. Testing is free, and results for individual deer will be available online.
November 14th and 15th Only
Due to the recent detection of CWD in Pulaski County, MDC staff will be at the following locations on November 14th and 15th from 7:30 am – 8:00 pm to collect samples from hunter-harvested deer. Hunters may bring the entire deer, or the head with a few inches of the neck in place. For additional sampling opportunities available throughout the rest of deer season, see below. For questions, please call the MDC Ozark Regional Office at (417) 256-7161.
