Springfield — The final Illinois DNR information meeting on the state’s CWD situation is scheduled to be held Oct. 2 in Adams County.
Which means deer hunters who attended one of the 10 gatherings have a better idea what biologists are dealing with as the deer disease spreads.
As the last meetings are being held, DNR encouraged hunters to have deer they kill this season tested for CWD.
“Hunters who plan to have their deer mounted can have a cooperating taxidermist collect the sample; testing procedures will not damage the deer skull.
Hunters not using a cooperating taxidermist can take the caped-out head to a DNR drop-off spot.
