GENERAL INFORMATION / TELECHECK
GENERAL INFORMATION / TELECHECK WHO NEEDS HUNTING LICENSES AND PERMITS IN KENTUCKY? If you take or attempt to take game, you are considered a hunter and therefore subject to licensing requirements unless specifically exempted by law. (See page 61 for the complete definition of ‘take’.) Unless you fall into one of the categories listed below, you must obtain and carry while in the field, proof that you’ve met the license requirements for the kind of hunting you’re doing. This proof can be either a paper license/permit, or a license authorization number (if you purchased a license by phone and have not yet received your paper license/permit in the mail.) If you can’t show you’re licensed properly while you’re hunting, you risk being issued a citation. Each hunter must have his or her own license or permit. Paper licenses and permits must be signed and the hunter information portion (signature, address, eye and hair color, sex, height and weight) completed before going afield. Phoning it in? Hunters who purchase licenses and permits on the phone or internet must read the requirements listed on page 9. WHO DOESN’T NEED A HUNTING LICENSE OR PERMIT? In some cases, a resident hunter may not be required to buy a hunting license, permits to hunt deer or turkey, or a state waterfowl permit. Here are those situations: • Kentucky resident owners of farmlands, their spouses and dependent children hunting upon their own farmlands during an open season; • Tenants, their spouses and dependent children hunting on farmlands where they reside and work; and • Kentucky residents on military furlough of more than three days in this state who carry identification and papers that verify their furlough status. LICENSES AND PERMITS Resident and nonresident kids under the age of 12 are not required to purchase licenses and permits, except the Elk Lottery Application, Elk Quota Hunt Permit and Out-of-Zone Elk Permit. Hunters eligible to participate in the Free Youth Hunting & Trapping Week or Free Youth Deer Hunting Weekend, and adults who accompany a youth hunter but are not hunting themselves, are not required to have a license or permit during these seasons. Other laws still apply! Hunters exempt from buying licenses and permits are required to follow hunting season laws, bag limits, comply with the hunter orange clothing law, and follow hunter harvest recording, checking and tagging requirements. Kentucky landowners, their legal dependents and their tenants, as described above, ARE subject to the usual license requirements anytime they hunt somewhere other than their own lands. WHAT TYPE OF LICENSE OR PERMIT DO I NEED? Deer, elk and turkey Both an annual hunting license and an additional permit are required for hunters 12 and older. (See the Deer, Elk and Fall Turkey sections for details). Waterfowl and other migratory birds In addition to a Kentucky hunting license (annual or short-term), permits are required for ages 16 and older as follows: • Kentucky Migratory Bird Permit: required to hunt doves, snipe, woodcock, moorhens, rails and gallinules. • Kentucky Waterfowl Permit: required to hunt ducks, geese, coots and mergansers. This permit also covers the species permitted by the Kentucky Migratory Bird Permit. • Federal Migratory Bird “Duck” Stamp: required in addition to the Kentucky Waterfowl Permit to hunt ducks, geese, coots and mergansers. U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service require- ment; available at post offices. All other species For hunters 12 and older, only a hunting license (annual, short-term, or a license that includes the hunting privilege) is required for everything else, except that no license or permit is needed to take exotic species as noted in the Small Game & Furbearers section of this guide. See the chart on page 8 and text on pages 10-11 for a full description of what’s included in the Resident Sportsman’s License, Youth Sportsman’s License and Resident Senior/ Disabled License. Shooting preserve license A $5 shooting preserve license is available to Kentucky residents and nonresidents, online at fw.ky.gov only. The license is valid for one license year, and for one shooting preserve only (which must be indicated at time of purchase.) SHORT-TERM HUNTING LICENSES The following short-term licenses are valid for all types of hunting except deer, elk and turkey. (Hunting those three species requires an annual resident or nonresident hunting license along with the appropriate permit.) Shortterm licenses are valid only for the 1- or 5-day period shown on the license. • 1-Day Hunting License: available to residents and nonresidents. • 5-Day Hunting License: available only to nonresidents. HIP SURVEYS When purchasing a Kentucky Waterfowl Permit, Kentucky Migratory Bird Permit, or any license that includes those permits, hunters are required by federal law to complete a harvest information program (HIP) survey at the time of purchase. Your license retailer (or phone operator) will ask you questions to fill out this survey. If you purchase your license online, you will be prompted to answer those questions at the end of your purchase.
