ONE MORE DAYS until the modern gun deer season is here! (Nov. 14-29)
Here are some last-minute reminders for the eager hunters heading out this weekend:
•Know the rules, regulations, bag limits, etc. of the deer zone/land you are hunting on. Review the 2026-2027 Fall Hunting Guide here: https://fw.ky.gov/Hunt/Pages/Guides.aspx
•Always wear hunter orange and practice treestand safety.
•Save time and cut down on errors by checking your game using the online option or the KY Deer & Elk app: https://fw.ky.gov/Hunt/Pages/KYDeerElkApp.aspx
Do you want to join the excitement of this season, but are not sure what to do because you didn’t get your hunter education certification in time?
Kentucky offers a one-time, one-year exemption permit that allows you to hunt without completing a hunter education course immediately. To learn more or to apply for this exemption: https://fw.ky.gov/Education/Pages/Hunter-Education.aspx
Good luck, Kentucky!
