Kentucky Fish and Wildlife has announced a special antlerless deer season in an effort to monitor and prevent the spread of Chronic Wasting Disease, commonly known as C-W-D.
The special season will run September 25th through the 28th in dearly two dozen counties in four designated zones in the state.
In the Lake Cumberland area, the special antlerless deer season applies in Russell, Casey, Pulaski, and Wayne counties.
Hunters may use firearms, bows or crossbows, but only antlerless deer may be harvested. Zone bag limits, hunter-orange requirements and mandatory C-W-D sampling requirements will apply.
