Game and Fish is asking hunters to continue doing their part to help keep Chronic Wasting Disease, a neurodegenerative wildlife disease that is fatal to deer and elk, at bay. All successful deer and elk hunters are encouraged to bring the head of their harvested animal, especially bucks and bulls, to any department office statewide between 8-and-5 Monday through Friday. The preferred method for delivery is to place the head in a heavy-duty plastic trash bag, and keep it cool and out of the sun. No cases of CWD were found in the 1,200 animals tested last year. Game and Fish has been conducting these tests since 1998.
