In 2016 submitted late Nov (last day harvest) results back in March 2017.

This year I submitted a head last week, will see how it goes this year.

2016: submitted Nov 4 at cabelas edmonton north freezer. Results in my inbox Nov 16.

2015: iirc about 6 weeks. Submitted mid nov, results in January.

Nov 3 2017 submitted in Brooks freezer and results to my email Nov 14 2017

Thanks guys! I'll let you know when my results get back.

CWD testing turn around time
 

Problem is for bow season . I submitted mine oct 3 got results late November. And they don’t have there freezers out yet . Local f&w wouldn’t expect it so had to drive it 2 hours back to where I shot it to bring the head . (Oh in business hour and not from 12-1) gov workers :/

We got all of our four results back on the 10th of November. Three heads in Wainwright freezer Nov. 1st and one on the 2nd. Didn't have antlers to remove so heads went in whole.
Both Edmonton Cabelas have freezers if you want to bring the heads back this way and remove antlers at home.
Like I tell my wife.... I like big butts.... but only on my mule deer!......

got results
 

Dropped off head at Cabelas North on the 12th of Nov and got results on the 22nd.
Pretty good turn around I would say, not that i was worried young white tail buck with lots of fat. Very healthy deer for sure.

Got the results. Negative! Time for some steaks!

Shot daughter and I each shot a doe out of the same group in 118. Results came back mature doe was negative and Young doe was positive.

Dropped mine off Nov 2 and got the phone call on Nov 24, mulie buck positive. 😟

Was surprised very healthy looking buck with tons of fat on him

Sad to hear of people losing out on hard earned harvests. This is going to get worse before it gets better (if it ever doea)

WT buck came back negative yesterday.

Dropped off at Wainwright on 5 Nov.
Received response 27 Nov.

What did they tell you to do with the meat/carcass etc?

Any additional instructions re handling?

Did they comp you a tag for next year?

Thanks

Shot a nice and fat mulie doe on opening day (Nov. 1 2017) and got results by Nov. 20 2017. Tested positive

They asked if I was still going to eat the meat knowing it tested positive and I said no. They said that was the recommended decision and asked me to discard of the meat either by burning or burying.

Yes I will be given a replacement licence for next fall.

What zone?

Just out of curiosity, what happens if you don't have an email to or Alberta Relm account to get your results? Will they still call you? One of my hunting partners is still incredibly old school, he doesn't even own a computer or have email. He still buys his licenses through the Cambodian Tire.

Could maybe put down yours?

For those that get the bad news (heads test positive), and the animal in question represents a long awaited draw, do they get a replacement tag for the following season ?

Yes, my draw was a 6 year wait and I will be given a replacement tag for next fall
