Recreation
Trophy Deer and Spring Turkey Hunting
Kentucky offers the deer hunting enthusiast many hunt method options and seasons, including archery/crossbow, muzzleloader, and rifle. Early archery/crossbow begins the first Saturday of September. It offers the unique opportunity to hunt mature velvet bucks while still in their summer patterns. Kentucky offers one of the longest hunting seasons from September through mid-January
Hunting licenses are available over-the-counter in Kentucky allowing the owner and guests the convenience and peace of mind for planning each season afield. The one-buck-per-year rule in Kentucky allows bucks the necessary time to mature fully. These factors and quality deer management (QDM) practices provide the ideal formula for an incredibly rewarding hunting experience.
