Kentucky Fall Hunting Season Guide | Lexington News

Kentucky’s fall hunting season is officially blazing with action—squirrel season kicked off in August, dove season started September 1, and the state’s wildlife officials say it’s the “good old days” for hunters. From deer with expanded bag limits in 30 counties to waterfowl opening on Thanksgiving, elk permits for the lucky few, and turkey hunting primed for success, there’s something for every hunter. Small game like rabbits and quail join the mix in November, plus furbearer trapping opportunities for coyotes, bobcats, and river otters. Don’t forget: if you were born after 1974, hunter education is required unless hunting on your own land. Check fw.ky.gov for dates, limits, maps, and downloadable guides before heading out.
