Hunters have harvested nearly 2,200 birds this fall, during the October shotgun season and the ongoing fall archery season.
"So far, this year's numbers look to be right on average following last year's record fall harvest," said Steven Dobey, wildlife program coordinator for the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources (KDFWR). "I would expect the December harvest to be good this year, especially with the warmer than average temperatures."
Summer brood surveys conducted by the KDFWR showed lower than average reproduction. The eastern section of Kentucky showed the highest reproductive success, whereas reproduction in the central and western sections of the state was far below average.
Turkey hunters are required to have a Kentucky hunting license, as well as a fall turkey shotgun permit. The fall shotgun season bag limit allows a hunter two turkeys of either sex, with a daily limit of one turkey.
If a hunter has already taken a turkey during the October shotgun season, he or she may take one additional turkey during the December season. Hunters who have not harvested a turkey during October may take both turkeys during the December segment, and those who took two birds in the October segment have reached their fall shotgun season limit already.
Fall turkey archery season continues now through Jan. 16.
DEER TOTALS - Deer hunters are having another good year in the Bluegrass state. As of Dec. 4, they had harvested 100,619 deer.
Numbers will continue to climb as archery season continues thorough Jan. 16 and the second muzzleloader season runs Dec. 10-18. However the total probably won't reach last year's record of 124,752, but could reach the average kill of 110,201 for the past six seasons.
As of Dec. 4, 587 deer had been taken in Taylor County and 961 in Green County.
