Attention hunters! The Northeast Region is a priority monitoring area in 2024 for chronic wasting disease (CWD). CWD has not been detected in any GMU in the Northeast Region however, the Department of Game and Fish needs your help to monitor the current extent of the disease.

You can take part by bringing the head of your harvested elk or deer to a CWD collection station or NMDGF Area Office. If bringing the head to an area office, please call beforehand to ensure that there is staffing to perform disease testing.

A collection station will be located at the intersection of Hwy 64 and Hwy 285 in Tres Piedras on the following dates:
• 10/5/24-10/9/24
• 10/26/24-10/30/24

Heads should be brought to the station or area office within 48 hours of the kill, but keeping the head cold or on ice (not frozen) can extend the window for testing.
Your participation is voluntary and appreciated. Participating hunters will be entered into a special draw and may be selected to receive an elk or oryx incentive authorization!

Please visit our website at https://wildlife.dgf.nm.gov/conservation/invasive-species-and-diseases/chronic-wasting-disease/ for additional dates, testing locations, and more information on CWD.

Chronic Wasting Disease Facts
• CWD is a chronic, fatal disease of the central nervous system that impacts the family Cervidae (mule deer, white-tailed deer, elk and moose).
• CWD belongs to the group of rare diseases called transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs). These disorders are caused by abnormally folded proteins called “prions.”
• Infected animals can shed prions in saliva, f***s, urine and after death through remains.
• If infection rates become high enough, CWD can affect a herd’s ability to sustain itself.
• To date, there have been no reported cases of CWD infection in humans.
• Public health officials advise against consuming meat or other tissue from infected animals.

Who else has moose on their bucket list?

I’m fishing along the Corrales drain last week. I had a bucket full of tender young trout when a game warden walked up and asked for my license. Realizing I had left it at home I had to think fast. “I didn’t catch these fish” I told him. “What do you mean you didn’t catch them,” he replied. “They are still swimming around in that bucket of yours.” “Well,” I continued, “These are my pet fish. Had them for years. I just bring them out every couple of weeks to swim and get some exercise. So cramped up in that aquarium. Then when I’m ready to go I whistle. Then they all jump back in the bucket and we go home.” “That’s ridiculous!” He said. “You can’t train fish. “Can too!” “Can’t!” “Can too! Things were getting heated now. “Want me to prove it to you?” “Yeah! Prove it! Do I took the bucket, poured the fish back in the ditch. Then I crossed my arms as we watched the fish swim around. “Well, “he said. Do it!” “Do what?” I asked. “Whistle!” He yelled. “ Why would I whistle?” I asked. “So the fish will jump back in the bucket!” “What fish? I asked.
