In cooperation with local businesses, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources staff collect deer heads for chronic wasting disease surveillance testing within several counties during the 2016 archery and gun hunting seasons.
Hunter service testing is available throughout CWD affected counties in Southern Wisconsin. If you harvest an adult deer within these counties please consider submitting a sample from any harvested adult deer for CWD testing.
Deer can be sampled for CWD at the following locations:
Columbia County - Lodi Sausage Company and Meat Market, Lodi; and the DNR Wildlife Management Office, Poynette.
Dane County - Stoddard’s Country Grove Market, Cottage Grove; Village Market, Waunakee; Uncle Jimmy’s Deer Processing, Blue Mounds; the DNR sampling station at Norslein’s woodworks, Black Earth; and the DNR South Central Headquarters, Fitchburg.
