Menominee hunters are encouraged to bring in adult white-tailed deer heads for chronic wasting disease testing this hunting season. Participation not only helps protect families, but it also supports the ongoing monitoring of the health of the local deer herd.
Each submitted deer head will qualify hunters for one entry into an end-of-season raffle for prizes. There is a limit of one raffle entry per deer head.
Drop-off locations and hours are as follows:
• College of Menominee Nation Culture Building (east side): 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.
• Neopit: Drop-off station located near the MTE gas pumps.

To ensure proper testing, deer heads should be either frozen or delivered within three days of harvest.
