Hunting in a CWD Zone

Chronic Wasting Disease is a fatal neurological disease affecting members of the deer family. If left unmanaged, CWD can have catastrophic, long-term impacts on Texas deer.

If you harvest a deer in a CWD Zone, it is mandatory to bring the deer to a check station within 48 hours of harvest to have a CWD sample collected from that deer. There are no exceptions to the regulation.

With your participation, biologists can gather statewide data to aid in CWD management strategies to reduce the risk of CWD spread.
