Check your junk mails. If it's not there, email them.

I had a few instances that they sent them but it went to my junk mail. Junk mail auto deleted after some time.
Emailed them and they said it was sent. Then they resend it.

Also, when you receive, make sure you add the sender as not junk or a familiar source to prevent in the future

Yeah, I scan my junk mail everyday. Surprising what you will find in there sometimes.

I have been watching the junk as well as I have had this before. Will give it another week or so and then give them a call.
- Personally, I would welcome a private company option going forward, its not like this is going to go away and a means of rapid on drop off testing would be awesome. I wonder how long it takes to do the actual testing per sample.

for me this year has been a big improvement in shortened wait times.

Dropped my son's first mulie doe head off at the Edmonton Cabela's North Dec. 8th, results back last week. Positive.....

IMO, the results are back earlier this year due to a lot of mandatory WMU's being dropped and less volume for the testing folks to deal with...?

Submitted my cow elk head to the Chronic Wasting Disease surveillance program after my elk hunt at Camp Wainwright on December 6, 2022 and received result today, January 26, 2023. Thankfully negative!

Dropped off my final head of the season at Calgary Cabela's on December 12th, negative result back January 27th. Pretty good. I was expecting to have to wait until March.

Good day all,

I was fortunate enough to harvest 2 deer at Wainwright during the Dec 8-10th season. I got results for one of them last week and its a Negative! Very happy with the turn around so far as I didn't expect any response till March so getting 1 result within 6-7 weeks is great. Fingers crossed for the same result for deer #2...

Does anyone know who to email for results?
My nephew received results from his mule doe from the 1st of Dec. Still haven't heard about his buck or moose from the second.

I called the fish and wildlife office in Edmonton. They were able to look it up with just my name and birthday. They confirmed that they have my samples but they haven’t been tested yet
