Minnesota wildlife

Hunters, you can check the DNR website for CWD test results on the deer you’ve harvested.

The site also shows statewide CWD test results, including locations of deer that tested positive, and statistics. Any additional deer harvested during current and upcoming Minnesota deer seasons that test positive for CWD will be reported on the CWD results webpage.

The DNR will also directly notify any hunter who harvests a deer that tests positive. The DNR is counting on hunters’ participation in providing samples to help with disease surveillance and appreciates those who have already submitted samples .

Learn and sharpen your outdoor skills with these upcoming online webinars from the DNR.

With topics including firearms safety, firearms maintenance, fishing, bear hunting and biology and more, you can expand your options for how you enjoy the outdoors this year. The webinars are part of the Minnesota Outdoor Skills and Stewardship summer series that aims to give participants quick, relevant information on upcoming seasons and events, and skills to help enjoy these opportunities.
