Kentucky hunting permission facts
Verified for modeled scopeKentucky KRS 150.092 requires oral or written permission from the landowner, tenant, or another person authorized to grant it before entering another person's land to hunt or trap. Kentucky Fish and Wildlife also says permission is required before entering to retrieve game or hunting dogs, so writing is an accepted option rather than a statewide exclusive requirement.
