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 and 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 the state of Kentucky allows bucks the necessary time to fully mature. These factors combined with quality deer management QDM practices provides the ideal formula for an incredibly rewarding hunting experience
