JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - The Missouri Department of Conservation is once again reminds hunters about free voluntary sampling and testing of harvested deer for chronic wasting disease during the entire deer season at select locations in the northwest region.

This includes MDC offices, participating taxidermists, and meat processors. MDC is also providing self-service freezer drop-off locations for hunters to deposit harvested deer heads for CWD testing.

The voluntary sampling and freezer locations are part of MDC's efforts to find cases of CWD early and help slow its spread.

There are eight voluntary sampling locations and six freezer drop-off locations in the KXCV/KRNW listening area. For more information and a list of locations, visit mdc.mo.gov/cwd.
