A primary goal of CWD response and management efforts is to determine the geographic extent and prevalence of the disease. MDWFP asks hunters to aid in this effort by submitting deer for testing during the white-tailed deer hunting season.
View data on CWD sample total and sample totals by county. MDWFP thanks all hunters that submit samples during hunting season.
Find details on the Deer Carcass Transportation Ban, including what parts of the carcass are permissible to transport.
Following the discovery of CWD, Mississippi adopted CWD Management Zones that have regulations pertaining to deer carcass transportation and supplemental feeding. See the maps and regulations pertaining to these zones.
The CWD Deer Management Assistance Program (CWD DMAP) was developed as a tool for private landowners and leaseholders to work together with MDWFP to manage CWD prevalence and increase sampling intensity in infected areas.
See statistics and distribution of CWD-positive samples recorded across the state of Mississippi.

With the population of Mississippi's deer herd rising, MDWFP is calling on hunters to take action to preserve the balance of nature.
