Hunters, we need your help with CWD monitoring

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 [ [link removed] ]* 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.

Help needed from hunters for brucellosis sampling

Hunters have long been an invaluable resource for the Wyoming Game and Fish Department’s efforts to collect biological samples for study and testing. This fall elk hunters in select elk hunt areas are again being asked to collect blood samples from their harvested animal to help in brucellosis surveillance efforts.

The ultimate opportunity

The Wyoming Super Tag gives hunters a chance at any of 10 species (Bighorn sheep, Shiras moose, Rocky Mountain elk, mountain goat, deer, wild bison, pronghorn, mountain lion, gray wolf and black bear) while keeping their preference points and waiving once-in-a-lifetime requirements. If you win the Trifecta, you get to hunt 3 of these species in one season. 

The *Super Tag* [ [link removed] ] is also a fundraiser for conservation, with 100% of the money raised by Super Tag sales going to on-the-ground projects in Wyoming, benefitting wildlife and habitat across the state.
