Where I live, you can submit tissue and teeth for testing, or the entire head. It made me laugh because one of the drop boxes (must smell absolutely lovely after a short time) is right across the parking lot of a playground. I just imagine traumatizing a bunch of children trying to get my deer tested.
I live somewhere that “doesnt have cwd” despite confirmed cases right across a geographically meaningless border. A sickly, relatively young deer dropped dead with no signs of trauma last summer on my street. I tried to report it to see if I could have it tested, and I was given contact info for the state biologist. I reached out, but they never got back to me.
I guess there’s no confirmed cases if you don’t confirm cases.
It looks like Colorado has an actual management plan for it. I guess they have a big chunk of the state where the economy relies on hunting. Hopefully the reintroduction of wolves does some help with it there, too.

Does it cost money for you?

Washington state.
