Hunting Requirements
According to the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources, both residents and non-residents are required to purchase a correct valid hunting license. However, if you’re a non-resident, along with the correct hunting license, you will also have to purchase an additional permit according to the hunting license.
The best place to purchase both hunting licenses and permits is directly from the official Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Resources site.
Getting to Kentucky
Kentucky is a state that’s easily approachable and if you’re going for a hunting excursion in Kentucky – you can get there either by train, air, or road.
One of the easiest ways to get there is to fly out directly to the main Kentucky airport which is Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport.
Things to Keep in Mind
