Looks like strong arm politics is alive and well in Kentucky. A senator had filed a bill to leave the crossbow season as it was - short.
So it looks like the KDF&WR was politically strong armed into "compromising" on crossbows...
The compromise is:
Crossbow - Oct 1 thru end of early M/L season (3rd Sun in October) and modern firearms opener (2nd Sat in November) thru December 31.
Also, modify the fall turkey bag limit to be 4 birds (2 during archery/crossbow season and 2 during firearms season). Only 1 of the 4 can have a beard 3" or longer.

It also gives us what we already had, and that's the week of Oct. 22 -28 for turkey only.
Still not much but better than what we had. Back to the grindstone and see if we can get more next year. Hell, we might have to work in the Legislature to get it done?

Hi Folks, I've been following this on their forum. If I got it right, the anti-expansion crowd tried an end run around the Fish and Game proposed expansion by having the politicians set the seasons, dates, equipment, ect. In the end, both sides of the expansion issue seemd to agree this was a bad thing. I found it encouraging that two sides of an issue could put aside their differences for the common good.

The last post is not a very accurate description of what happened.

I think these politiciians and their tactics should be remembered when their time for re-election comes up.

I think these politiciians and their tactics should be remembered when their time for re-election comes up. I think they will be remembered. I've been a little slow to make many comments and the compromise itself.... is a start. However the events and circumstances on how we got this compromise and the legislation that was invoked to stop it......is a little hard to swallow. |
