Statewide Iowa — The Iowa Department of Natural Resources is again collecting samples from deer hunters this year to try and keep a handle on Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD).
The DNR’s Tyler Harms oversees the program.
He says they will also take samples from the other 89 counties
Harms says the samples help them stay on top of where the hotspots are.
Harms credits hunters with cooperating and providing enough samples for an accurate picture of what is happening in the deer population.
The first shotgun deer season has just wrapped up and the second season will start on December 11th.
