Fishing and hunting permits and licenses for 2024-2025 now available

The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources says residents can now get registered to take advantage of the state’s finest outdoor offerings for 2024-2025.

Licenses and permits to fish, hunt, and trap in the state are on sale now. The 2024-2025 license period runs from March 1, 2024, to February 28, 2025.

Licenses cover basic hunting and fishing for most species, with additional state permits available for species such as trout, migratory birds, wild turkeys, and bears. New this year is the Senior Lifetime Sportsman’s License, which is available to residents 65 and older and streamlines the licensing process.

The sale of licenses, along with the excise tax collected from the sale of recreational firearms and ammunition, archery gear, and fishing equipment, is the primary funding source for Kentucky Fish and Wildlife.
