MNR testing for Chronic Wasting Disease

The Mininistry of Natural Resources will be conducting a study in northwestern Ontario Wildlife

Management Units this fall to see if there is any sign of Chronic Wasting Disease among the deer population.

Tore Buchanan is a spokesperson for the MNR and says they are asking hunters in the region to bring deer heads into select locations for testing.

Depot locations have been set up in Kenora, Nestor Falls, Dryden, Emo and Fort Frances.

Deer heads will be accepted until the middle of December.
