As published on the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources' website, effective immediately, standard nonresident spring turkey permits for 2020 will no longer be sold in order to conform to Gov. Andy Beshear’s executive order and current CDC guidelines to minimize the spread of the COVID-19 Coronavirus.

Only non-resident hunters who have already purchased 2020 spring turkey permits, and can comply with the Governor’s Executive Order No. 2020-266 should consider hunting in Kentucky during the spring season.

The governor's order requires all non-residents who travel to Kentucky to self-quarantine immediately for 14 days upon arrival.

The youth turkey season is this weekend and the statewide season is April 18 - May 10. Hunting has a large economic impact in Crittenden County.
