How to Use a CWD Station Dropbox

You can bring your deer harvest to a CWD Check Station for sampling at any time. If the CWD Check Station is unattended, leave part of your harvest for testing by using the Dropbox. Find out how by watching our short video How to Use a CWD Test Dropbox.

If you want to keep the head for a mount, bring your harvest to a CWD Check Station when it’s attended by TPWD staff. They’ll take the sample without damaging the head.

The CWD Check Station procedure is quick and easy. Watch the process in our short video What to Expect at a CWD Check Station. Whether you use the Dropbox or come in when the check station is staffed, it’s important that you know where your deer was harvested.
