6/10/24 Capitol Update Extended – FWC Asks Processors for Help Testing Deer for Chronic Wasting Disease

The Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission is offering payments to meat processors and taxidermists in select counties for submitting deer heads and tissue to be tested for Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD). CWD kills every deer that catches it. The first case in Florida was detected in 2023 in Holmes County. For details and to apply go to MyFWC.com/CWD
