Black Bear Hunting Season Set
KENTUCKY....
The return of a hunting season for black bears in Kentucky is just days away. Last year, an early season snowstorm limited the opportunity to bag a bruin for the 372 hunters who bought permits for Kentucky's first bear hunt in more than a century. In Harlan, Letcher and Pike counties, a hunter, with all the necessary permits, could take a bear, elk and deer all on the same day. These three Kentucky counties are open to bear hunting December 18-19th and are part of Kentucky's 16-county elk zone, where a seven-day cow elk quota hunt begins on December 18th. The third weekend in December is also the last weekend of Kentucky's nine-day late muzzleloader season for deer, and hunters in these three counties can take deer of either sex December 17-19th.
