Big news for hunters here in Columbus/Bladen Counties and surrounding areas! 🦌

The NC Wildlife Resources Commission has updated the 2026-2027 CWD Surveillance Areas, and our area is NO LONGER under the previous surveillance restrictions. That means many of the transportation and carcass movement restrictions we’ve dealt with over the past few seasons are being lifted. 🙌

For those of us in the deer processing world and hunting community, this is a huge relief. We know firsthand how confusing and frustrating some of the old rules could be for hunters trying to legally transport deer and get them processed.

According to NC Wildlife, the updated surveillance areas are now focused mainly in northeastern NC counties, and there will also be NO mandatory CWD testing this season thanks to strong participation from hunters across the state. Over 23,000 samples were collected in each of the last two seasons.

As always:
✔️ Continue reporting sick deer
✔️ Dispose of carcass waste responsibly
✔️ Keep supporting conservation efforts

Even though the restrictions are being lifted in our area, we still fully support continued CWD monitoring and conservation efforts. At Dixie Deer Processing, we will continue voluntarily submitting samples for testing whenever possible because protecting North Carolina’s deer herd is important to all of us.

The hunting tradition we enjoy today depends on staying proactive, informed, and working together as hunters, processors, and wildlife officials to keep our deer population healthy for future generations. 🦌

The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission has announced updated Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) surveillance areas for the 2026–27 deer season. Four counties, including Edgecombe, Halifax, Martin and Pitt, have been added, while 11 others have been removed after years of negative test results.

CWD cases remain relatively low statewide, with 33 positives in the 2025–26 season. Testing will stay voluntary, but hunters in management and surveillance areas are encouraged to submit samples before consuming venison.
