Saturday marks the first day for deer hunting season in the Commonwealth. Kentuckians can participate in archery through January, with the season opening up to crossbows Sept. 16, muzzleloaders Oct. 21 - 22 and Dec. 9 - 17 and modern guns Nov. 11 - 26.
Around 300,000 Kentuckians, and thousands more out-of-staters, take part in deer hunting. The state Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources says it brings in $550 million dollars in revenue each year.
