The Wyoming Game and Fish Department needs help from hunters this fall to collect lymph node samples from deer and elk for chronic wasting disease testing in focused monitoring hunt areas across Wyoming. Hunters play a critical role in helping Game and Fish understand the disease and achieve CWD monitoring goals.
Deer Hunt Areas 22, 70, 88, 89, 157 and 171 require mandatory lymph node submissions for testing.

Reminder: Fall fire safety a must
With wildfires affecting multiple areas of the state, prioritizing fire safety practices remains critical. Hunters are encouraged to take extreme care when building fires at camp and ensure they are completely out before going to bed, leaving for the day or packing out.
