o Cleaned teeth
o Hides and tanned products
o Finished taxidermy and antler products
 Strengthen CWD sampling requirements within enclosures to the following:
o CWD test required for the first 10 white-tailed deer 12 months old or older
harvested each hunting season. If less than 10 adult white-tailed deer are
harvested, then all must be tested.
o CWD test any white-tailed deer displaying clinical signs of CWD.
o CWD test any white-tailed deer that dies within a breeding pen.
 If an enclosure has imported a CWD susceptible species from inside or outside of
Mississippi, CWD test all known white-tailed deer mortalities within the enclosure.
 Partner with Mississippi Board of Animal Health to develop regulations for CWD
susceptible exotic cervids.
