The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation announced Friday the opening of a deer monitoring station after the detection of chronic wasting disease in a wild deer in Livingston County.

The DEC said CWD, which has not been detected in a wild deer in New York State since 2005, is a deadly disease found in deer, elk and elk that poses a serious threat to wildlife populations.

All hunters who harvest Deet in the towns of Conesus, Groveland, North Dansville, Sparta, Springwater and West Sparta will be required to submit deer tissue samples to the DEC for CWD testing.

The checkpoint is located at the Livingston County Office of Emergency Management, 3360 Gypsy Lane, Groveland.

The station will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. until November 20, before moving to 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on November 21.
