94.3 the Wolf Country That'll Make You Howl!
Kentucky’s biggest hunting season gets under way this weekend.
Modern Gun Deer Season in Kentucky opens on Saturday, November 8, continuing for 16 days and ending on Sunday, November 23.
According to Kentucky Fish and Wildlife, hunters in Kentucky harvested nearly 150,000 deer last year, with the Modern Gun Season accounting for the most deer harvested annually. KFW says the state’s bountiful white-tailed deer herd provides many hunting opportunities and a sustainable source of lean protein.
Harvest limits are based on deer density in each of the state’s four deer zones. Under Kentucky’s statewide deer permit, hunters may take up to four deer, with hunters limited to one buck per year regardless of zone. Consult the state’s Hunting Guide for more information.
Special restrictions related to carcass transportation and baiting remain in place for deer harvested in the state’s Chronic Wasting Disease Surveillance Zone, which includes Breckinridge, Hardin, and Meade counties. Hunters can assist state biologists by donating the heads of legally harvested and telechecked deer for testing through the state’s CWD sample drop-off sites or with a CWD sample mail-in kit.
