Late summer deer disease highlighted this weekend on "Kentucky Afield" TV
9/26/07
Frankfort, Kentucky - The recent outbreak of epizootic hemorrhagic disease in the state's deer herd has raised concerns among hunters. To discuss the facts about this disease and its impact, Tina Brunjes, big game coordinator with the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources, joins "Kentucky Afield" TV Host Tim Farmer this weekend, September 29 and 30.
More than 2,000 deer have died in Kentucky this year from hemorrhagic disease, a number that seems large but is only a fraction of the state's total deer population. Brunjes notes the disease is not transmissible to humans or pets, and suggests that landowners continue with their usual deer management plans.
Also on the program, it's early Canada goose season in Elliot County. Waterfowl hunter Darrin Day gives Farmer a refresher in decoys, blinds, calls and drawing in birds. In Carter County along the Little Sandy River, angler Bob Elliott reminds us why the muskellunge is the fish of a thousand casts. Lastly, a squirrel cakes recipe from some good old boys in Paducah leave the crew bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.
"Kentucky Afield" is a production of the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. It is the longest continuously-running outdoor television show in the nation. "Kentucky Afield" airs at 8:30 p.m. Eastern /7:30 p.m. Central Saturday and repeats at 4 p.m. Eastern/3 p.m. Central Sunday on KET 1.
