I know we've talked about this before on here, in fact the info I got here is what made me go one time a few weeks ago. With it snowing today I was planing to go tonight to the farms to do some hunting. This morning I was at the store down the road and the county CO was there, I've known this man for more than 30 years and he knows what kind of person I am. I told him about my plans for tonight and he told me that's illegal in KY. He went to his truck and got his book and a "guide", the kind we get at Wal-Mart. In the guide he truned to page 7 and pointed out 2 things, one the shooting hours and year-around season.
SHOOTING HOURS
Species for which "SEASONS" are inculded in this guide, except racoons, opossums and frogs, may be taken during the daylight hours only.
YEAR-ROUND SEASON
Coyote, groundhog, wild hog, English sparrow and starling.
He pointed out that the Coyote did have a "SEASON" in KY. It is an open season and not closed with no limits. BUT it says right there in black and white in the guide the word "SEASON" ever if it is an open season. Then he showed me the same thing in his law book, he's right there is a "SEASON" for coyotes.
I came home and had my brother call Frankfort. The lady that answered said they did have a few calls about this in the past and that they looked it up then made a ruling for what the laws says. She said she would have to find it and that we need to call back. A couple hours later we called and she said the CO was right when he told me about what the guide said. As long as it says "SEASON" all rules apply inculing shooting hours except recoons, opossums and frogs.
I'm glad I ran into the CO because I didn't want to get a ticket over some wrong info.
