All deer harvested in Conesus, Groveland, North Dansville, Sparta, Springwater, and West Sparta must bring carcasses to be tested
From the NYS DEC,
Today DEC opened a deer check station in response to the recent Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) detection found in a wild deer in Livingston County.
Location: Livingston County Center for Emergency Operations Building, 3360 Gypsy Lane in Mount Morris
Dates: Open seven days a week, but will be closed for holidays on Nov. 25, Dec. 23-25, and Jan. 1
Hours: 9:00 am until 5:00 pm until Nov. 20. Starting on Saturday, Nov. 21, the check station will be open from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm.
Hunters who harvest deer in the towns of Conesus, Groveland, North Dansville, Sparta, Springwater, and West Sparta must bring their deer to the check station so that DEC can collect a tissue sample for CWD testing. Hunters will be notified by DEC if their deer tests positive for CWD.
Hunters must obtain a transport permit from the DEC check station to take their deer to a cooperating meat processor or taxidermist, or to move their deer outside of the containment area.
