040-2 Wyo. Code R. § 2-17

Current through April 27, 2019
Section 2-17 - Mandatory CWD Sample Submission

The Department may mandate hunters submit CWD samples from harvested deer, elk and moose from designated hunt areas within Wyoming.

Mandatory submission of CWD samples from harvested deer, elk and moose may be established annually by the Department when necessary to meet its CWD testing and monitoring requirements or to implement and evaluate management actions related to CWD. Mandatory CWD sample submission of deer, elk and moose shall end when the Department achieves sampling goals for designated hunt areas, as stipulated by Department personnel prior to enacting any mandatory CWD sample submission. The Department shall determine the type, time frame and method of CWD sampling required for submission.

When the Department mandates hunters submit CWD samples, public notice shall be given through posting of mandatory submission requirements in Department offices and designated license selling agents, electronic or traditional mailings to known license holders (and other sportspersons) and through the Department website, publications and news releases.

It shall be a violation of Commission regulation for a hunter to fail to submit mandated CWD samples in accordance with this section.
