Deer stations - disease sample submission sites
Location information could change as the season progresses. Please check this list before heading out, and we recommend calling locations first to be sure they are open.
- Remove deer heads prior to visiting a sample submission site.
- If you would like to keep the antlers, remove them from the head.
Please be aware that test results may take 6-8 weeks to receive. If CWD is found in a submitted deer from an area above, the hunter will also be notified by letter or phone and will be eligible for a replacement antlerless deer license. Additionally, all results are posted at Michigan.gov/DNRLab.
