Day in the life of a Chronic Wasting Disease Technician: A chronic wasting disease technician for the state of Montana is responsible for collecting and submitting CWD samples collected from harvested deer, elk, and moose during the general hunting season. Most technicians will be working on the weekends at one of our field sampling stations. At the beginning of each workday the technician will go to their assigned sampling station location and open it up for the day. This is usually some designated time early in the morning and the station stays open and ready for sampling until around sunset each day. The station opening involves setting up equipment for the day, opening signs, prepping for the cleaning of used sampling equipment and setting up a trash can. During the day the technician either working on their own, with a partner or alongside other FWP staff will be available to sample any suitable harvested animal that is brought in by the public.

For each animal, the technician will fill out a field survey on an iPad to collect harvest information from the hunter. The technician will then extract the retropharyngeal lymph nodes from the head of the animal, a tooth and muscle tissue sample from each animal, putting the samples in that animal’s designated sampling kit. The technician will give the hunter a card from the sampling kit that will provide them with information on how to look up their test result. Technicians will also have to clean and disinfect all equipment that was used to collect the sample, after each animal is tested. Samples will need to be organized and stored in a cooler or freezer. Technicians will also be trained to understand chronic wasting disease and answer questions about CWD that hunters might ask. If working at a field sampling station, the technician will have to drive their collected samples to their supervisor each week and help prepare samples  for shipment to the testing lab. At which time, they will also pick up any additional supplies they need for the following week.

Day in the life of a Chronic Wasting Disease Technician: A chronic wasting disease technician for the state of Montana is responsible for collecting and submitting CWD samples collected from harvested deer, elk, and moose during the general hunting season. Most technicians will be working on the weekends at one of our field sampling stations. At the beginning of each workday the technician will go to their assigned sampling station location and open it up for the day. This is usually some designated time early in the morning and the station stays open and ready for sampling until around sunset each day. The station opening involves setting up equipment for the day, opening signs, prepping for the cleaning of used sampling equipment and setting up a trash can. During the day the technician either working on their own, with a partner or alongside other FWP staff will be available to sample any suitable harvested animal that is brought in by the public.

For each animal, the technician will fill out a field survey on an iPad to collect harvest information from the hunter. The technician will then extract the retropharyngeal lymph nodes from the head of the animal, a tooth and muscle tissue sample from each animal, putting the samples in that animal’s designated sampling kit. The technician will give the hunter a card from the sampling kit that will provide them with information on how to look up their test result. Technicians will also have to clean and disinfect all equipment that was used to collect the sample, after each animal is tested. Samples will need to be organized and stored in a cooler or freezer. Technicians will also be trained to understand chronic wasting disease and answer questions about CWD that hunters might ask. If working at a field sampling station, the technician will have to drive their collected samples to their supervisor each week and help prepare samples  for shipment to the testing lab. At which time, they will also pick up any additional supplies they need for the following week.

Day in the life of a Chronic Wasting Disease Technician: A chronic wasting disease technician for the state of Montana is responsible for collecting and submitting CWD samples collected from harvested deer, elk, and moose during the general hunting season. Most technicians will be working on the weekends at one of our field sampling stations. At the beginning of each workday the technician will go to their assigned sampling station location and open it up for the day. This is usually some designated time early in the morning and the station stays open and ready for sampling until around sunset each day. The station opening involves setting up equipment for the day, opening signs, prepping for the cleaning of used sampling equipment and setting up a trash can. During the day the technician either working on their own, with a partner or alongside other FWP staff will be available to sample any suitable harvested animal that is brought in by the public.

For each animal, the technician will fill out a field survey on an iPad to collect harvest information from the hunter. The technician will then extract the retropharyngeal lymph nodes from the head of the animal, a tooth and muscle tissue sample from each animal, putting the samples in that animal’s designated sampling kit. The technician will give the hunter a card from the sampling kit that will provide them with information on how to look up their test result. Technicians will also have to clean and disinfect all equipment that was used to collect the sample, after each animal is tested. Samples will need to be organized and stored in a cooler or freezer. Technicians will also be trained to understand chronic wasting disease and answer questions about CWD that hunters might ask. If working at a field sampling station, the technician will have to drive their collected samples to their supervisor each week and help prepare samples  for shipment to the testing lab. At which time, they will also pick up any additional supplies they need for the following week.
