State working strategically to limit Chronic Wasting Disease From Dan Hassert Frankfort, KY -- The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources continues to implement strategies during the fall hunting seasons designed to monitor and prevent the spread of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD). The strategies are designed to both limit the introduction of CWD from other states and to alert wildlife officials to any new detections of the infectious disease, which is always fatal to white-tailed deer, elk and other members of the deer family. Strategies include:
Kentucky's CWD Surveillance Zone currently includes 23 counties in four distinct areas where CWD was detected either in Kentucky or nearby in a bordering state. The counties are Ballard, Breckinridge, Calloway, Carlisle, Casey, Fulton, Graves, Hardin, Henderson, Hickman, Laurel, Lincoln, Marshall, McCracken, McCreary, Meade, Pulaski, Rockcastle, Russell, Union, Wayne, Webster and Whitley. For a map of the surveillance zone (and information on CWD restrictions), see Kentucky Fish and Wildlife's website at fw.ky.gov/CWD or the 2026-27 Kentucky Hunting and Trapping Guide. 2026-09-16 14:15:19 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Ky Afield Outdoors
