Wisconsin DNR promotes free CWD deer testing, with emphasis on areas with recent disease cases.
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) encourages hunters to test deer for Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) this fall. CWD is a fatal neurological illness affecting deer and related species. Testing is free and available statewide, especially in areas with recent CWD cases. Options include self-service kiosks and in-person testing. Proper disposal of deer carcasses is crucial to prevent disease spread. Consuming meat from CWD-positive deer is not recommended, though human infections are not reported.
