They can’t do anything on private land without the land owners permission. State owned lands and WMAs are in trouble most likely.
Subsequent CWD focused surveillance sampling will be conducted on free ranging deer within the CMZ using various methods (e.g., hunter-harvested animals, road kills, controlled harvest, etc.). Whenever possible, sampling will be accomplished using hunter harvested deer during regular deer season and/or through extended special seasons. When necessary, WFF may also collect deer in areas when other means of sample collection are inadequate, but only with permission and full cooperation of private landowners. Landowner permission will be obtained prior to collecting any deer from private property.
