The 31 counties for mandatory sampling are: Adair, Barry, Bollinger, Cape Girardeau, Cedar, Cole, Crawford, Franklin, Grundy, Hickory, Jefferson, Knox, Linn, Macon, Madison, McDonald, Mercer, Moniteau, Ozark, Perry, Polk, Putnam, St. Charles, St. Clair, St. Francois, Ste. Genevieve, Stone, Sullivan, Taney, Warren, and Washington.

They included new counties added to the CWD Management Zone, counties with previous CWD positives, and counties very near previous positives.

Time Saving Tips

  • Telecheck deer before going to a sampling location.

  • Be prepared to locate the harvest location on a map.
  • Position deer in the vehicle so the head and neck are easily accessible.
  • Have the detached head or cape with about 6 inches of neck ready for sampling.
