LAHUNTER, the bow season in KY use to open on Oct. 1st, this was ' 97 and prior, they changed it to the 3rd Sat. in Sept. in ' 98 and it had stayed that way until this year when it will open on the 1st Sat. in Sept..
The only thing I think that will be different from the last few years is it may be hotter weather wise. The deer seem to do pretty much what they have been doing all summer. You generally do see some rubbing by the middle of Sept. and I have had yearling bucks come to rattling in Sept. I would say hunt like you always do prior to mid or late Oct.
They did change the definition of an antlered buck to read: a deer with visible, polished or velvet-covered bone showing above the hairline. They added the velvet-covered part.
What county are you hunting?

Good luck and welcome to Kentucky
