All in all I think Kentucky manages their hunters and deer herd rather well.
They offer a 2-3 week rifle season peak rut to keep all the gun hunters happy, yet limit us to one buck per season, and give bowhunters Sept-Jan to hunt. They seem to know how to keep all parties happy and still keep deer numbers in check. I am satisfied, and honestly, don't want to see KY change back to a two buck state. I like how one buck tag pressures people to hold off for bigger deer, however selfish that may be.
I agree but I would like to see them tweak the start of gun season back off of the second Saturday.This week was a week too early imo and would like to see it hit the middle of November every year.
They even allow crossbows to be used but there season starts a little later and they do an awesome job getting the youth involved.They are FREE untill they turn 12,then they are required to have an orange card and liscenses.
AND,from what I have seen and heard,it seems Ky does a better job with it's money than anyone.No tax dollars(unless donated) either,all their money comes from us,the hunters through our tags and liscenses.Atleast that is the way I understand it.
