License to fish or hunt on your own property!

**Clint** · 07-07-2023, 08:43 AM

On Youtube there is a channel titled Patriot Point which keeps you up to date on the changing Kentucky politics. Today's video is about a change to the Game Laws that takes effect this month (July 2013).

Under the new provision if you own 5 acres or less, you must have a fishing and/or hunting license to fish or hunt on your own property. In the past land owners and residents did not need a license to fish or hunt on their own land.

Something the politicos slipped in to further extract money from Kentucky sportsmen and sportswomen.

There is already a fix in process - BR85 - which removes this element from the law - BUT - BR85 will not be acted upon until January, when the lawmakers return.

I am a non resident with 53 acres and have to buy no license and tags. I only fish in KY as I hunt my home ground here in the Buckeye State.

Let's not even go there, even hypothetically

You know, when ever someone yells about buying a license I remind them that it goes to fund wildlife efforts, that being said I don't agree with the proposed law, I do hunt deer on my Ohio property but if I had to buy a license to do so Id have second thoughts

AGREED! If I said what I think about it I'd get banned for life from here

If I didn’t enjoy hunting and fishing enough to buy a license, then I don’t think I would be do in either one. Just saying.
