On this episode of the Kentucky Afield Podcast we're joined by Gabe Jenkins, Deputy Commissioner for KDFWR and Kentucky's CWD Response Lead. Gabe has been involved in the management and conservation of whitetail deer and elk in the state for years, and is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to these topics.
Last week the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources was informed of a positive case of CWD that came from a hunter-harvested free-ranging whitetail deer that was harvested in Ballard County. This is the first positive case of CWD that has been confirmed in Kentucky.
So, in a nutshell, Gabe is here to walk us through what CWD is, where we go from here, and what this means for deer hunters in the state.
