New law requires Kentuckians to have a license to hunt and fish on their own property if it is less than 5 acres
FRANKFORT, Ky. (WKYT) - The Kentucky Lantern is reporting on a recent change in state law that will require Kentuckians to purchase a hunting and fishing license even if the activity is on their own property if it’s less than five acres.
Senate Bill 241 had the main purpose of creating more conservation easements across the state.
Governor Beshear vetoed it, but the legislature overrode him.
Rick Zimmer, President of the Kentucky League of Sportsmen, said he wishes sportsmen and women had more say on such matters. https://www.wymt.com/
I agree with the first statement, but the second really isn’t comparable. Here’s a discussion on the subject, note all the differing opinions from actual Ohio hunters.. https://www.ohiosportsman.com/threads/deer-hunting-in-ohio-with-centerfire-rifles.32467/
This is where the localized decision takes place, theoretically if you have 50 acres of public hunting land in the middle of 5 or so densely populated towns less than 1.5mi apart from the center of that public hunting plot, centerfire rifle hunting could possibly be an issue. That’s all I’m saying, don’t even try to make it out like I want to ban guns or give the govt more control, that’s ridiculous. But I was going to say an hour ago but my phone died, if you want to use an AR chambered in a straight walled pistol round .357-.50 with a total capacity of three live round you’re free to do so by the letter of the law.
