Test Your Harvest
Hunters are key to tracking chronic wasting disease (CWD) in Montana. Every deer, elk, or moose you bring in for sampling tells Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks more about how to manage CWD and protect Montana's herds.
 Follow along with staff at all seven regions to learn what to expect when you stop by.
