MINNEAPOLIS – Deer hunters in Minnesota have another way to test for Chronic Wasting Disease.
The Department of Natural Resources Eric Hildenbrand says you can sign up and get a testing kit mailed to your home, free of charge. The hunter can then take a sample from their deer and send it in for testing, with results arriving in about a week.
Hildenbrand says Chronic Wasting Disease is still rare in Minnesota, but is gaining a larger footprint.
