Welcome

​New Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) surveillance measures are now in effect for Henderson, Union, and Webster counties, following the detection of CWD in a deer harvested just across the Ohio River in Posey County, Indiana.

In response, the Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Commission approved a CWD Surveillance Zone for the three counties, expanding the state’s existing surveillance area, which includes Ballard, Breckinridge, Calloway, Carlisle, Fulton, Graves, Hardin, Hickman, Marshall, Meade and McCracken counties. The zone brings specific regulations to help limit the spread of the disease among deer.
