Anyone get their CWD results yet for their rifle season 2017 deer?

[AspenCreekOutdoors]

I’ve been trying to get onto the www.srd.alberta.ca/hunting/cwd link now for over 3 weeks it doesn’t work didn’t bother calling the CWD biologist just yet because it hasn’t been 6 weeks curious if it’s just me?

Only been 4 weeks I’ll wait 2 more weeks it’s been killing me tho can’t wait to eat my jerky, oh well good first world problem to have

[V45 sabre]

We have gotten all our results back from November

[2 Tollers]

Nothing yet. 2 deer harvested 2nd week of Nov and heads dropped off in Edmonton.

[Smokinyotes]

Took my head in around Nov 20th and got a “negative” result back last week.

Good to know, now did they call you?
Or did the website work then?

I submitted my head on Nov 30th so I’m assuming next week

I dropped off my Whitetail in Wainwright second week and still nothing back. Dropped two more off the last week and don't expect those back yet. I'm dying to eat some deer meat.

Harvested Nov 10, dropped off Nov 13 at Cabelas North. Results emailed Dec 7, negative.

I dropped my head off the first weekend in November and got my results at the end of Nov. I got an email as well as it showing in my RELM account.

Submitted Nov 18, still waiting

This is good to know! Thank you, does it pop up once you log in?
Just like when they show you haven’t filled out a harvest report post season?

I believe it is email only. They email the negatives to the email that you use on your relm account. Maybe check the spam folder.

If its positive they call.

[stevens]

submitted two heads end of November got a call the mule deer was positive no results on whitetail yet. If results are positive they will call you.

My mistake. The email I got was from Alberta RELM and I wrongly assumed that it would be in my RELM account as well. Just went through it and couldn’t find it there either.

The results were emailed to the email address in my RELM profile.

3 weeks passed and I was emailed my results; both deer negative.

If they want better participation then they have to speed up the process. I cannot hang a deer in my garage for 3 weeks.

Another thing is the changing of drop-off sites with no notification.

So cut it up and freeze it, like everyone else does.

The testing isnt going to go any faster, just be thankful it's offered and FREE.

[Ken H]

We received all of our results within 3 weeks of handing them in.

[AspenCreekOutdoors]

Good point fellas didn’t know some people had to pay for testing in other provinces

[GSPhunter]

I'm curious, if you get a positive and you're encouraged to dispose of the meat are you offered another tag? Or is it just a suck it up until next season thing?

Do moose get it or just wt and md?

Turn the animal in, get another tag next year.
My hunting buddy shot a WT in Lloyd wmu and gets a free tag next fall due to CWD +.

Yes, highway 41 North of just Medicine Hat a couple years ago... Was collision with auto.

[7magtime]

Dropped off the wife's MD buck at the Edmonton South Cabela's Dec 9. Called a couple weeks ago and was told it wasn't even processed until Jan 9.
Sigh.....the wait continues. Hopefully the turnaround is much quicker next year, the Alberta Gov't has to know that more resources will be needed each year with the prevalence of CWD increasing yearly across Alberta.....

[Big R]

Just got a call - my mule buck was positive. WMU 152. Submitted first week of December. Second year in a row.

If the CWD testing zones continue to grow year after year logically the number of resources performing the actual testing should increase as well. Government operated anything and logical usually don’t mix.
