Getting a deer tested New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife (NJ Department of Environmental Protection)
From the agency’s page: No testing page or hunter testing instructions; the page says harvested deer have been sampled annually since 1998.
Sampling sites, zones and dates are the agency’s to set. Check its page before you go. Before you eat the meat
CDC advises strongly considering a CWD test before you eat deer or elk meat, and checking whether your state recommends or requires testing where you hunt. Recommendations vary by state.
