Get Your Deer Tested for Chronic Wasting Disease
Always wear protective gloves and eyewear when cleaning game and collecting samples!

- Record the GPS location of where the deer was harvested.
- Remove the deer head 5 inches below the ear. (See brochure for illustration.)
- Deer heads may be caped, with antlers and skull cap removed.
- DO NOT FREEZE THE SAMPLE. Sample deer heads should be refrigerated or put on ice.

Step 3
Print the email that you received after completing the form in step 2. Provide that printout to the LDWF staff member who handles your sample.
