CWD check stations, other ways to get your animal tested
As elk seasons continue, ODFW will be monitoring hunter harvested elk for CWD – a fatal, highly infectious disease. What can hunters do to help combat CWD?
- Get your animal tested – at a roadside test station, ODFW office or participating meat processor and taxidermist.
- Education yourself, and others, about CWD, the risks to Oregon's wildlife, and other ways you can help.
Find out more about CWD, check station locations and the ways to have your animal tested.
Veterans Day Nov. 11 – Thank you for your service!
From license discounts to additional controlled hunt tags, ODFW wants to make sure our uniformed service members are given the opportunity to participate in the outdoor recreation Oregon has to offer. Learn more about the opportunities.
