Archery, Firearm, Muzzleloader, and Late-Winter Season hunters are being asked to help track a disease in the Illinois deer herd.  Hunters statewide in Illinois are encouraged to allow samples to be taken for chronic wasting disease testing from adult deer they harvest.  The locations serving as sampling stations can be found on the IDNR website.   Samples will be taken from entire deer or deer heads from October 1^st thru January 20^th, 2014.  In Henry County, Woodhull Locker in Woodhull is serving as a sampling station.  R & R Processing in Morrison is also serving as a sampling location.  Test results will be posted by hunter phone number on the IDNR web site.
