Mine was submitted on Nov 8 and I got my negative results emailed to me Nov 22. I only submitted the necessary tissues so maybe that sped things up.

Government website says samples submitted in latter half of November or later likely won’t see results until January or February. They’re processing about 2500/week of the season.

I really think it makes a difference where you drop them off! Dropped two off at Cabela's north Edmonton in early November this year. Results were back within two weeks.
When they are dropped off in more rural areas I don't think they are collected nearly as regularly.

Dropped my mule deer head off at the taxidermist on Nov 5 so he would have dropped it off within a couple days of that and I received my negative results back yesterday.

Yup still waiting. Submitted around Nov 9th and still waiting.
I appreciate they get inundated with submissions but since they're requesting it, they should be able to cope with demand in a timely basis

I agree. Don't make mandatory if not able to provide timely results.

CWD testing wait time?
I killed 2 MD bucks in Wainwright this year and my hunting partner did the same, samples were pulled by the biologists at the same time. He got his results back a couple weeks ago and I haven’t seen mine yet. Thought that was odd but I don’t know how the system works.

Dropped off at the Edmonton North Cabelas on Nov 28th, still no results. They emailed me on Feb 4th asking to confirm it was a buck; I guess the tag was damaged.
Glad to hear results are still trickling in, and that they do have my sample and my contact info.

Totally agree. Was super surprised (pleasantly) to receive back CWD testing results within 2 weeks this year! Great turnaround time by all those involved in the process!

I dropped a head off October 30th. Negative results came back November 15th. The email I got seemed to suggest that they picked it up on November 4th. Two more heads submitted November 15th, still waiting on those.

I submitted a mule deer buck head this season, and received results within 2 weeks. Unfortunately, it was positive.

I submitted a Muley doe head Nov 2, negative result emailed 2 weeks later.
Only issue, I shot the deer with my bow on Sept 2. No freezers set out yet.
Maybe a few early season freezers would be nice.

Dropped off two heads November 15th. Negative results for both yesterday December 12th. Looks like the heads sat in the freezer for 9 days before they picked them up. The emails say 'head submitted on or about November 24th.' One more head submitted yesterday. No doubt I'll be waiting till February or March.

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
