Kentucky Considers Doubling Bobcat Hunt Limit | Lexington News

Kentucky’s considering doubling the annual bobcat hunting limit to ten—up from five—and allowing night hunts with thermal gear, though firearm kills remain capped at three. Wildlife advocates are sounding the alarm, calling the move premature without solid population data to justify such a drastic change. Conservationists and sanctuary workers warn that other wildlife regulations are science-based, urging the public to speak up before a legislative vote on October 1st. Officials haven’t released any population figures or comments from the state wildlife department, fueling concerns that this policy shift is being driven more by hunting interests than conservation science.
