Looks like we might get our night hunting for coyotes back.New law pending would give Ky hunters chance to hunt coyotes at night with light for the first time,it will most likely be with shotgun only.

Yea, looks like it will be shotgun only, and not year round, but still more than we have now.  :biggrin:

This is from the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources page:

In wildlife-related business, the commission proposed allowing the hunting of coyotes at night. This season is contingent upon the completion of the legislative process for House Bill 60. If this bill becomes law, it will take effect 90 days after the last day of the current legislative session.

If this hunting season secures final approval, coyote hunters could use lights or night-vision equipment from Feb. 1 through May 31. From June 1 through Jan. 31, coyote hunters could not use lights or night-vision equipment. Lights or night vision equipment could not be connected to or cast from any mechanized vehicle. No weapon other than a shotgun could be used for hunting coyotes at night and shots shells could not contain a single projectile.


It appears this passed and was signed by the Governor on March 19th.  There is still some tweaking to be done by KDFWR, such as "shotguns no larger than 10 gauge" but it looks like it will happen.  :yoyo:
