With another deer bow, elk, and moose seasons opening soon, North Dakota Game and Fish officials are reminding hunters of the options for getting animals tested for chronic wasting disease.
Hunters can drop off heads at 14 locations around the state – including Grand Forks.
Self-sampling kits are also available to hunters who wish to have their animal tested but are unable to drop the head off at a collection site. The kits allow hunters to remove the lymph nodes and ship them to the Department’s wildlife health lab for testing.
The Grand Forks drop-off site is the Grand Forks County Sheriff Department building at 5205 Gateway Drive.
CWD is a fatal disease of deer…moose…and elk that can cause long-term population declines if left unchecked.
