The Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Department of Agriculture are both exploring avenues of management regarding CWD free-ranging white-tailed deer and elk surveillance, interstate privately owned cervid import restrictions and CWD testing requirements for suspect animals. 

For more information about how Michigan is working to prevent CWD from infecting Michigan's wild cervid populations and control CWD in deer and elk facilities, see the  Michigan Surveillance and Response Plan for CWD of Free-ranging and Privately Owned/Captive Cervids  Contingency Plan (pdf) and visit the Chronic Wasting Disease Task Force Website.
