The undersigned Landowner hereby grants to the Mississippi Department of Wildlife,
Fisheries, and Parks (hereinafter referred to as “MDWFP”) a Permit and Right of Entry to the
above-described lands upon the following terms and conditions:
1. Landowner grants to MDWFP, its agents and employees, a revocable right to enter
upon the Subject Property at any time within the Entry Period in order to (a) plan,
conduct, and assess the effectiveness of, an MDWFP operation to harvest the above-
specified number and species of wild (non-captive) cervids on Landowner’s lands for
the purposes of testing them for the presence of Chronic Wasting Disease (“CWD”)
and (b) carry out such other work as may be reasonably necessary to complete said
operation. The permissible activities by MDWFP include, but are not limited to, using
firearms or other killing devices to harvest the specified wildlife on the Subject
Property, removing the harvested wildlife using vehicles (including ATVs or UTVs),
conducting subsequent inspections to assess the effectiveness of the operation, and
performing follow-up sampling. Landowner may revoke the right to enter at any time
by providing to MDWFP written notice signed by Landowner.
2. There is currently no live test for CWD. Landowner understands and agrees that
MDWFP will take possession of all wildlife harvested pursuant to this Permit and Right
of Entry for CWD testing and will dispose of all wildlife that tests positive for CWD
in accordance with MDWFP carcass disposal guidelines.
3. This permit includes the right of ingress and egress on or across other lands of
Landowner not described herein, provided that such ingress and egress is reasonably
necessary and not otherwise, in the judgment of MDWFP, conveniently available to
MDWFP.
4. All tools, equipment, and other property taken upon or placed upon the Subject
Property by MDWFP shall remain the property of MDWFP and shall be removed by it
before expiration of this Permit and Right of Entry.
5. MDWFP shall have the right to patrol and provide security for any of its property placed
on the Subject Property for the duration of this Permit and Right of Entry.
