Hot fishing action happens at night By JOEL WILSONFor the Daily Times Speaking of dove hunting, the department also reports that sign-ups for the popular mentor-youth dove hunts will begin next week.
Each fall the department contracts with landowners to provide leased dove hunting fields for the public to enjoy. Six of these fields will be closed to the general public on Sept. 1, the opening day of dove season, for mentor-youth hunting. These hunts give hunters ages 15 and under a chance to experience an early-season dove hunt with an adult mentor. Hunters must pre-register for these hunts by calling (800) 858-1549 weekdays from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. from Aug. 11-22. Registrations will not be accepted prior to these dates. Mentor-youth dove fields on wildlife management areas reopen to the public Sept. 2, while private fields leased by the department reopen for general public hunting Sept. 6. Mentor-youth hunting fields in our area include a 20-acre field near Bloomfield around the Nelson/Spencer County line; a 20-acre field near Fredricktown in Washington County and a 20-acre field in Green County. An adult mentor may take two youths on these hunts and both the adult and the youth may hunt. Participants are assigned a shooting location. Hunter education and licensing requirements apply to the mentor-youth dove hunts. ]Hunter education is required for all hunters born on or after Jan. 1, 1975, except kids under 12 and hunters who are license exempt. However, a one-time temporary hunter education exemption permit is available for $5 online, which allows hunting for one year from the date of purchase without a hunter education card while accompanied by a legal adult hunter. Bluegrass Army Depot does not accept this exemption permit. Log on to fw.ky.gov to find a hunter education course near you, or to purchase an exemption permit.
