KY Afield Outdoors: Early returns from 2016-17 deer season By Kevin Kelly Frankfort, KY - Shirt-sleeve temperatures. Treetops buffeted by high winds. Acorns crunching underfoot. Without question, hunters faced challenging conditions for the early muzzleloader deer season this past weekend in Kentucky and it shows in the harvest figures. The two-day take of 2,987 deer was down sharply from last year when hunters benefitted from the timely arrival of a cold snap and a less bountiful acorn crop. Biologists with the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources say deer numbers are good across the state, but acknowledge the early returns from the 2016-17 season could portend a smaller harvest overall compared to recent years. Hunters set new harvest records in three of the past four seasons.

Adair ABC License Update: What's holding up package stores Deputy ABC Administrator answers questions being asked about the delay in Adair getting package store licenses By Shannon Sexton, Adair Co. Deputy ABC Administrator I've received numerous calls in regards to when package stores may be open. The Quota Package process takes a bit longer than the Non-Quota malt beverage license due to much more information being required. It is my understanding that applicants were mailed "Economic Letters" last week and they have until October 28, 2016, to complete those and submit them to Kentucky ABC. Once submitted, the Kentucky ABC administrators will review and issue license once approved. I'll keep everyone posted as more information becomes available. Thank you, - Shannon 2016-10-21 09:40:27 | Comments | Printable version
