KYDFW Commission proposes new deer, waterfowl and migratory bird changes Proposed changes include a change from Zone 3 to Zone 2 for Adair, Casey, Metcalfe, and Taylor Counties for deer hunting. By Kevin Kelly Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Frankfort, KY - The Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Commission has recommended expanding modern gun season for deer to 16 days statewide, increasing the number of deer allowed on a statewide permit from two to four, and increasing some license and permit fees for non-residents. The proposals were among multiple recommendations to deer, waterfowl and migratory bird seasons made by commission members at their March 23 meeting in Frankfort. The commission recommends hunting, fishing and boating regulations for approval by the Kentucky General Assembly. Legislators must approve all recommendations before they become law. The changes recommended by commission members are designed to help thin the state's deer herd in more densely populated areas while boosting numbers where deer populations are lower than desired. Changes also will boost many opportunities for hunters. All deer-related regulations will go into effect for the 2018-2019 seasons, if approved by legislators.

These include a daily creel limit of 10 bluegill or other sunfish, four catfish, 15 crappie and one largemouth bass that must be greater than 15 inches long. Commissioners also recommended adding mooneye and goldeye to the restricted movement list of fish species to help blunt the spread of Asian carp into new waterbodies. The commission also proposed changing some non-resident license and permit fees. The next regularly scheduled Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Commission meeting will be 8:30amET, Friday, June 8, 2018. Meetings are held at Kentucky Fish and Wildlife headquarters, located at 1 Sportsman's Lane off U.S. 60 in Frankfort. This story was posted on 2018-03-29 09:12:35
