MISSOURI DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATION ANNOUNCES DROP OFF POINTS FOR CWD TESTING
The Missouri Department of Conservation is making multiple drop off sites available to make it easier for deer hunters to help monitor Chronic Wasting Disease.
In Southeast Missouri, hunters can drop off deer heads at York’s One Stop in Campbell along with the Bollinger County CO-OP in Marble Hill and the heads will later be picked up by MDC staff.
Officials say the goal is to provide hunters an additional way of submitting their harvested deer for voluntary CWD testing. These self-serve drop sites will enable hunters to submit deer heads for sampling at their convenience during the 2024-2025 fall deer hunting season.
Hunters will need to record their name and contact information, as well as their Telecheck ID numbers and the location the deer was harvested.
A map of all voluntary CWD testing sites is available at mdc.mo.gov.
