OHA is offering a drawing for a Weatherby Vanguard 7mm Rem in First Lite Specter (value $1,150) to hunters who submit chronic wasting disease samples between Aug. 1, 2025 and April 1, 2026. You get one automatic entry for every sample that you submit.
OHA is invested in keeping Oregon a CWD-free state for as long as possible, but early detection of the disease if and when found in Oregon is critical to limit the spread. CWD is a fatal disease capable of drastic negative impacts on deer, elk and moose populations.
It’s easy to submit CWD samples at ODFW check stations, ODFW field and district offices, and cooperating taxidermists and meat processors.
A list of current cooperating taxidermists and meat processors can be found at https://tinyurl.com/65dcj2tz
OHA recently sent prizes to two winners who submitted CWD samples in 2024. Thomas Dailey of Stayton won a Howa .223 and scope package, while Kaylyn Hansen of Junction City won a Sig Sauer Whiskey3 rifle scope.
