Chronic Wasting Disease Detected in Arkansas Deer Populations
TL;DR Summary
The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission confirmed a deer in Stone County tested positive for chronic wasting disease (CWD), a fatal neurological disease affecting deer and other cervids. The deer was harvested on private land near Sylamore WMA, within the existing CWD Management Zone. No immediate changes to deer hunting regulations are planned, but the AGFC will assess the need for adjustments post-season. Hunters are encouraged to utilize free testing facilities to help monitor the disease's spread.
