Hunters who harvest deer in 34 of the 38 counties in the CWD Management Zone during the opening weekend of deer season are required to take their harvested deer, or the head of the deer, to one of MDC’s numerous CWD mandatory sampling stations on the day of harvest. Sampling and test results are free.
