Hunters are encouraged to use the sampling station nearest to their harvest location.
But deer harvested within deer permit areas 255, 343, 344, which are designated as CWD control zone DPAs (light yellow on the map), could be sampled at stations in DPAs 643, 645, 646, 647, 648, 649 and 655, which are designated as management zone DPAs (dark yellow on the map).
For example, a deer harvested south of Pine Island in DPA 343 could be taken to the Caldonia station in DPA 649 for sampling.
Note that no deer carcass can be transported out of the control zone DPA where it was harvested (light yellow on the map) or an adjacent management zone DPA (dark yellow on the map) until a "not detected" test result is received. Hunters can immediately transport properly prepared meat and dispose of remains within the area using quartering stations and dumpsters available at some sampling stations.
