A Division of Wildlife employee and a hunter remove the rack from an elk last year on North Yampa Avenue. When testing for chronic wasting disease, hunters keep the antlers and ivory while the lymph nodes and tonsils are removed and shipped to Fort Collins for testing.

Cathy Caro removes antlers from the head of an elk last year during the process of testing for chronic wasting disease at the Colorado Division of Wildlife testing site, 1715 N. Yampa Ave. CWD is a fatal neurological disease found in deer and elk, and is tested for by removing and examining the lymph nodes and tonsils.
Deena Armstrong, right, removes a lymph node from a mule deer last year and hands it to Heather Bankie for testing. While the number of new cases of Chronic Wasting Disease don't show any large spreading in Colorado, officials are cautious not to call it a positive sign. The CWD testing site in north Craig has seen a decrease in animal harvest, as well as in the number of animals submitted for testing, which may have affected these numbers.
