The Ministry of Natural Resources is conducting a study in northwestern Ontario this fall to see if there is any of Chronic Wasting Disease among deer.
Spokesperson Tore Buchanan says they're asking hunters to bring deer heads to select locations for testing.
"We're trying to collect about 460 samples from the northwest," says Buchanan. "That will give us a degree of confidence that the disease is not there if we don't detect it in any of those animals.
Depot have been set up in Nestor Falls, Emo and Fort Frances and will collect deer heads until the middle of December.
