VILAS COUNTY - The Wisconsin DNR reminds hunters of the important role they play in the continued efforts for Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) surveillance and management in Wisconsin.  One of the most effective tools for monitoring CWD is testing your harvested deer, and testing is available statewide.  The DNR is especially interested in receiving more samples from the 2025 Fall Priority Areas near recent CWD detection locations which include Vilas and Oneida Counties. Additional samples in these areas will help the DNR better understand disease levels and distribution.  CWD is a contagious, fatal neurological disease that affects the nervous system of deer, elk, moose and caribou.
