Was not aware of that..Its happened in other states .
I think Alaska was one of the first. Others have followed suit.Was not aware of that..
What I don’t get is if they can test the urine for CWD then how is there not a live test.Seems in theory that one could put deer to sleep and collect urine.Either this would be so expensive they aren’t interested or these test are BS and just a scheme to make some money who owns a testing facility that everyone will have to use to be a “certified” urine that you can use.Idk just some thoughts
When I read the ATA info on their program it doesnt mention urine testing . It requires herd testing to insure the herd is monitored for cwd . It also requires herd population monitoring and mandates no animals moved into their operations along with some other regs
I was reading an article yesterday talking about urine testing.I'll see if I can dig it up,my girlfriends uncle was showing it to me on his phone.When I read the ATA info on their program it doesnt mention urine testing . It requires herd testing to insure the herd is monitored for cwd . It also requires herd population monitoring and mandates no animals moved into their operations along with some other regs
"New testing procedures have been made available to producers of deer urine that can detect the presence of CWD in urine-based products"When I read the ATA info on their program it doesnt mention urine testing . It requires herd testing to insure the herd is monitored for cwd . It also requires herd population monitoring and mandates no animals moved into their operations along with some other regs

All I can tell you is that the ATA doesnt say urine testing is part of their program. Or at least I didnt find it in their info.
Both articles mention real time test along with the bill that is in the legislature.All I can tell you is that the ATA doesnt say urine testing is part of their program. Or at least I didnt find it in their info.
I don't use it
Earlier this year, a proposed ban on the use of female deer urine attractants in hunting deer gained Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission approval, a move that brought comment from businesses involved in producing these products.
The move was proposed by the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries' Wildlife Division to prevent Chronic Wasting Disease from infecting the state's deer herds.
Deer urine is a know source of the virulent prions that introduce CWD into deer, elk, mule deer and other cervid animals.
As with all hunting and fishing regulations, this new regulation went to a combined House and Senate Natural Resources Committee oversight, and the legislators decided to oppose the ban.
Then, Gov. John Bel Edwards opted to reject the input from the Legislative Oversight Committee, which sent the issue back to the LDWF and the commission.
That's why the item was on Monday's LWFC meeting agenda, and the commission approved a modified ban which would allow the sale and use of such attractants only after clearing federally approved tests.
The new regulation passed Monday reads:
"It is unlawful to use or possess scents or lures that contain natural deer urine or other bodily fluids while taking, attempting to take, attracting or scouting wildlife, except natural deer urine products produced by the manufacturers or entities that are actively enrolled and participating in the Archery Trade Association Deer Protection Program, which have been tested using real-time quaking induced conversion and certified that no detectable levels of CWD are present and clearly labeled as such."
Before pressing the vote - it was unanimously approved - there were concerns about the pending printing of the 2019-2020 Louisiana Hunting Pamphlet, and whether this new language would make the publication deadline.
Wildlife Division chief Kenny Ribbeck said Tuesday the changes in the deer urine regulation will appear in three places in the upcoming season's panphlet.
