Important reminders about rules in the Unit 1 CWD management zone
What hunters need to know
Hunters in any Idaho CWD management zone must follow additional rules.
- Mandatory testing: CWD testing is required for all hunter-harvested mule deer and white-tailed deer.
- Carcass transport: It is unlawful to move a whole carcass of a deer, elk or moose outside the boundaries of a CWD management zone.
Full details on mandatory sampling and carcass transport rules are available on the Idaho Fish and Game website or in a recent press release.
Making compliance easier
As in previous years, Fish and Game staff in the Panhandle Region are prepared to help hunters meet the additional rules.
- More drop-off options: Freezers and head barrels for deer, elk or moose samples are more widely distributed than before. Within the Unit 1 CWD management zone alone, hunters will find three freezers and six head barrels. Locations across the Panhandle are posted on the CWD sample drop-off webpage.
These are self-service sites. Please follow the posted instructions carefully and fill out all requested information with a pencil (ink often becomes illegible when wet). Samples with incomplete or unreadable information may not be testable.
