Hunters Fight Deer Disease Now | Winston–Salem News

Hunters are being called into action to battle a deadly deer disease called Chronic Wasting Disease, which is spreading through brain tissue and bodily fluids. To slow its spread, officials are launching early antlered deer and blackpowder seasons, aiming to reduce deer numbers before breeding season. New carcass disposal rules are also being enforced statewide to prevent disease transmission. First detected in NC in 2022, the disease affects less than 5% of deer in affected areas — a small but critical window for hunters to help protect the herd and stop the outbreak.
