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
Spring turkey season for the fired-up, strutting eastern gobbler is absolutely amazing and unrivaled. The springtime green-up is truly a spectacular time to be outdoors in Kentucky during a three-week period from mid-April through the first weekend of May
