Kentucky deer hunting season best on record Adair County harvest at 1,112 deer for license year 2004 Frankfort, KY. January 10, 2005: With about 10 days left in the Kentucky archery deer season, Kentucky deer hunters have already reported harvesting more whitetails this season than in any other season on record. In Adair County, the harvest already in the still incomplete 2004 license year is 1,112 deer. Of that total, 554 were male and 558 female. The figures were last updated January 10, 2005. For the completed 2003 season, the total harvest was 1,123 deer which included 600 male and 523 female deer. Higher deer availability and increased opportunity to hunt this season are the two primary reasons Kentucky Fish and wildlife Department officials credit for the record-breaking year. Kentucky's pre-season deer population was estimated at around 900,000 animals, and some additional gun hunting days were offered for youth last fall. Hunters who want to add a few more deer to the running statewide harvest total of 123, 372, will still have until January 17 to take whiitetail deer with a bow. After martin Luther King Day, the archery deer (and wild turkey) season will close for 2004-05. "Hunters came through and gave us the target harvest we indicated that would help us manage the deer herd as responsibly as possibly," said Jonathan Day, state big game program coordinator for the Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources (KDFWR). "We're pleased with the harvest, and happy that hunters had improved success this year despite having to dodge a whole lot of rainy day hunting conditions," Day said. Last season, about 116,500 deer were reported taken in Kentucky, so the 123,000 plus harvest this year was a significant jump over the previous season. Other game opportunities available A few other Kentucky hunting seasons, in addition to those for deer and turkey, will be winding down toward the middle and latter part of January. Hunters interested in getting one more trip will have to make plans soon. The statewide duck, coot, and merganser season is open through January 30, and as of January 1, hunters may include one pintail and one canvasback in the daily bag of six ducks for the remainder of the season. Those looking for a less utilized game species may want to consider trying snipe hunting through January 23. Most likely the "call and bag" approach won't yield many birds, but hunters in damp, upland forest and edge habitat who use a bird dog may be able to locate some of these lesser known game birds. Snipe are similar to woodcock, and are considered a migratory species in Kentucky.
