Kentucky's biggest hunting season starts this weekend Frankfort, KY - Modern gun deer hunting season opens Saturday, November 14, 2026, and runs through Sunday, Nov. 29. Deer hunters have been afield since September with the opening of archery and crossbow seasons, but these 16 days comprise Kentucky's biggest hunting season annually. Boasting strong deer populations across the state, Kentucky offers many hunting opportunities for new and experienced hunters to provide a sustainable source of lean protein for the table or for food banks. Hunters reported harvesting more than 145,000 deer last year, down slightly from nearly 150,000 in 2024-2025, with modern gun season accounting for the most deer harvested annually. "The opening weekend of modern firearms deer season is one of the most anticipated times of the year for many hunters across Kentucky," said Ben Robinson, director of the Wildlife Division for the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. "The 2026 calendar has the season opening later than normal but we still anticipate a strong harvest statewide." Kentucky Fish and Wildlife offers a wealth of resources to assist new and experienced hunters alike. Learn about public lands available for hunting, season dates, licenses needed and more by going online to fw.ky.gov and searching under the keywords, "Deer Hunting."
