Proposal Could Expand Kentucky Crossbow Season

Do you want to increase the time you can use your crossbow for deer hunting in Kentucky?

Voice your opinion on Kentucky crossbow legislation today. The time to act is now as the final vote for crossbow use expansion is on April 9, 2019. 

Herexe2x80x99s how you can help:

  1. Submit a letter of support to each member of the State of Kentucky Administrative Regulation Review Subcommittee by Monday, April 8th.
  2. Support the Kentucky Crossbow Federation by becoming a member.

The Administrative Regulation Review Subcommittee is currently considering a proposal to allow the use of crossbows as legal equipment to harvest white-tailed deer from the third Saturday in September to the third Monday in January for all legal hunters. The proposal is a direct result of the hard work and dedication of the members of the Kentucky Crossbow Federation. This proposal would allow for any legal hunter, regardless of age or physical condition, to use a crossbow for hunting deer and would also expand the current season by an additional 40 days.

The final vote to approve this measure will take place on April 9, 2019.
