CWD self-sampling kiosks and carcass collection sites listed

Here is the list of CWD testing and deer carcass disposal options available to hunters as posted on the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources’ CWD sampling website (https://dnr.wisconsin. gov/topic/WildlifeHabitat/registersample. html).

The website is updated frequently, so hunters are encouraged to check it again before and during the nine-day gun season.

Before dropping off a deer head for sampling, hunters are asked to register their deer through the GameReg harvest report at gowild.wi.gov/wildlife/harvest and complete the CWD testing form.
