RE: chronic wasting disease
Trout, the cases that have been found in wild deer in Saskatchewan have came from 2 locations (Sask Land Area and south of Lloydminster) the numbers are low for case found positive and for whatever reason Mule deer have made up the bulk of those found with CWD. You can use Latex Gloves for FD if you wish and heads can be taken to the SERM office on Research Blvd at the of US if you choose. However please note SERM is now charging for heads to be tested, I have heard as much as $90 per test but that is unconfirmed. For more info call SERM and ask them questions on CWD.
Enjoy your first deer hunt.
