The Ministry of Natural Resources says there remains no evidence of chronic wasting disease in northwestern Ontario.
Wildlife Research Technician Tore Buchanan says a strong response to the MNR's request for deer heads from hunters' kills last fall helped in their analysis.
"We did the Kenora, Dryden and Fort Frances areas," says Buchanan, "and we went around and asked hunter's for samples from their deer and we got great cooperation from those hunters."
Of the 362 deer heads collected, none showed signs of the disease.
